What types of health problems are needed to qualify to have gastric bypass surgery? Do you only qualify if you have severe health problems caused by this or could you qualify if you have smaller health problems like knee arthritis & breathing problems? Most of my family is obese and have heart disease, sleep apnea. Would they take that into consideration? My sister had gastric bypass surgery with a starting weight at 208 and is down to 128. I don’t think she had any medical problems due to her obesity.

Usually you have to have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 40 or more to qualify for gastric bypass. If you have a BMI of over 35, sometimes you can qualify if you have significant co-morbidities such as diabetes or sleep apnea. First and foremost, "they" look at how morbid obesity is affecting you, however, your family history may be taken into account, if close relatives are morbidly obese and have Health problems relating to obesity.

For instance, epilepsy is not considered a "mental health" problem even though it’s something that’s happening in the brain. Schizophrenia has to do with brain chemicals, but it’s a mental health issue.

Most mental illnesses are considered ‘brain’ issues as they involve irregularities in the functioning of the brain. Hence, the medications and treatments. It has also been recognized that all these conditions also have accompanying behavioral and emotional components hence they are also mental Health issues.
Epilepsy is not considered by itself a mental illness because it involves misfiring in the brain but by itself does not have a direct emotional or social behavioral effect. Having said that dealing with epilepsy can be stressful and cause damage to the brain and psyche some of which are manifest as mental illness. Many persons live successfully as epileptics w/o dealing with mental illness.

I get worried about my girlfriend because she doesn’t have health insurance. I am insured through my job, what are her options? Is there something she can sign up for? If she has Health issues I want to know that she will be able to afford any necessary medical treatment. Thanks.

Financial assistance might be available. Certain government programs and nonprofit organizations can help. You can also discuss concerns about paying her medical bills with your health care provider, social worker or the Business office of your clinic or hospital.

I dip about once every other day, if not once every 3 days. What are the Health risk if I rotate where I put the lip in my mouth along with the amount I use it. Seeing that most frequent users dip 2-3 times a day, I feel that the health risks associated with them don’t complelely apply to my use.

you still risk the chance of getting oral cancer..

I’m trying to find some additional health information on some conditions, but would like to know some websites that doctors use themselves. Sites that are different from the typical WebMD and Yahoo! Health.

Here is a main one:

I’m thinking of taking flying lessons and wondered what the Health requirements are. I am color-blind. Would that affect my eligibility? What are any other health requirements?

You should be in good general health and free of any medical conditions which might cause you to become incapacitated in flight, such as epilepsy, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension (because of the increased risk of incapacitating heart problems or stroke), etc.

You can get a license if you are color-blind. If you can pass any one of about two dozen approved color vision tests, you can get an unrestricted license. Otherwise, you’ll generally get a license that doesn’t allow night flight or flight without a working radio.

That’s how it works in the U.S. Other countries may differ.

In general, the medical requirements for pilots are still very strict and somewhat inconsistent—if you’ve ever had a seizure in your life, you might be disqualified, but if you take a drug like ethanol daily, no problem. The FAA claims that at least 95% of all applicants can obtain a medical certification allowing them to fly.

If you can’t get a license, you can still fly, but only with a licensed pilot who acts as pilot in command. So you could fly a small Cessna with yourself and a licensed pilot friend on board, for example.

What exactly are Health inequalities and health determinants, and how are they linked to each other?

Health inequalities are ‘determint’ by your post-code!

I have to write a bill for government and i need to explain how health and human services would carry out my bill after it would be passed. What steps would they take? My Health care plan resembles obama’s plan if that helps.

Once the legislation is signed by the president, the approprriate department writes the regulations to implement the law.
For example, the LAW says we have to pay income taxes.
The IRS regulations say we have to file a form 1040.

First, proposed regs are written by the department staff.
They MUST follow the law.
They can not violate the law.

The proposed regs are published in the Federal Register, and the public has from 30 to 90 days to comment on them.
http://www.federalregister.gov/

The dept. reads the comments they get, and decide whether to change any of the proposed regs to fit the comments.
Yes, comments very often do make a difference.
I once had a job where it was my duty to write comments on proposed regs on hunger and poverty programs.

Once the dept. makes their decisions, the final regs are then published in the Federal Register again.

Then all of the necessary people are notified – Insurance companies, state insurance departments, hospitals, doctors, etc.

They have to give everyone time to change their procedures to comply with the regs – paperwork, training staff, etc.

The final regs are then published again in the US Code of Federal Regulations

At a time in our country when two out of three adults are overweight, how does providing state-run Health care encourage people to take better care of themselves? Look how unhealthy Americans are when health care is at a premium. Imagine our condition when it’s doled out like welfare.

Because the quality of care within the Universal system is so bad you certainly don’t want to have to use it. Therefore you will live longer by taking better care of yourself.
