I have retinal vein occlusion, and I have to get a injection in my left eye every 4 weeks. There is no reversing it, but if I don't do the shots It will get worse, and turn into detachment like you have. I realize what you and your family are going through. Now $6000 is quite expensive , but that's the way I would go, since staying in one position is just a slow torture. My wife and I pay $1000 per month for our health insurance here in Georgia USA. Hopefully you will get through this and be over another challenge. Best wishes, Bill
Praying for you guys! I admire your courage and trust in the almighty. Please consider the previous comment by Terry. Only eat meat/ proteins and cut 100% of carbs and sugar.
I had my aortic valve replaced a few years ago, the number 50 they gave you after the echo refers to the ejection fraction, which is the volume of blood pumped out of the heart when it beats, normal is 50-70, so you would be low normal

Jerry, sorry to hear about your ongoing eye issues. Bumrungrad hospital here in Bangkok is one of the best hospitals in Asia. Have you thought about another opinion here? Hotels and appointments are easy to get. I’m sure you’re feeling distressed and it’s very understandable.
Right off the top of my head (and the Mayo Clinics) it sounds like she tested for your left ventricular ejection fraction. 50-70% is normal. 41-49 is considered mildly reduced,
Thanks for the update. This is beyond frustrating I’m sure. My biggest fear is that all these doctors are not up to standard and would not be able to be licensed in any US state. I don’t get how you don’t do laser before an injection. Laser shores up the blood vessel. An injection keeps the eye stable. It’s not a cure. The gold standard is injecting a dye into your arm vein and then do imaging. It picks up what vessel is leaking blood. You then know what one to target in laser surgery. Problem solved. Please consider going back to Virginia. Apply for Medicaid. Can be done online. Forget these docs. It’s a waste.
So sorry Jerry, I’m also dealing with diabetic eye issues. I have Type 1 diabetes for about 40 years. Over the last 15 or so years I’ve had many eye infections in both eyes. If I had to guess maybe 30-40 injections. Plus multiple laser eye treatments which is done to cauterize the capillaries all around the sides of the retina, to keep them from leaking cholesterol. I only have one eye that I can still pass the DMV eye test and see the computer screen so I can work. That good eye had a diabetic eye bleed making it like I was looking through a dirty car windshield or a dirty screen on a window. Got an emergency eye doctor visit and he did another eye infection then 5 weeks later he was either going to do another injection or laser treatment. Eye was better so he did laser treatment that he explained he’s doing to cauterize the capillaries to keep them from bleeding again. He said he cauterized 500 the first time and wanted to do it again in 6 weeks. Went back and did he said he did 400 the second time. Got another follow up visit scheduled for late Dec. I use a insulin pump and a CGM which is helping me keep my blood sugar at much better levels around the clock. So A1C is really good the few years. Diet and exercise is also helping me deal with this better. Just sorry I didn’t take it seriously sooner. Ron
Good for you brother. I hope everything will work out well for you. I’m trying to do what the doctor tells me to do and trust God with the rest. Can’t help getting sick when you’re old I think😂😂😂.
And in the end they have concluded that it is all related to the artificial sweeter in your gum. It sucks getting old. Now in my mid 60's. I'm dealing with an abscess tooth. I'm praying 2025 is going to be an answer to prayer. I'll keep you in my prayers. Jerry, your not cheep. Just frugal.
Blessings from Malaysia, why you think about cost, it is life changing and money should not even be considered, you can cut back elsewhere if you need, if as others say it is so bad then why not go to Thailand and get it done ? I know whet3 i work in Singapore the cost would give you another stroke for sure. Take Care.
Happy Saturday Jerry if I was in your shoes I would definitely get a second opinion in Cebu!! I would plan to exit the Philippines to the US after my second opinion. I hate to say it, but these doctors are idiots. Not because they’re bad people. God bless you guys. Hope it all turns out well.
nattokinese n serrapeptanase take for reducing heart n circulation blockage..... but after the operations not b4 not during. think about more drastic weight loss solution if you are o blood type carnavore will work. other options for other blood types.
Quick google search says normal ekg is 50 to 70. Which I guess the are talking about the left ventricle which pumps blood out of the body. I AM NOT A DOCTOR.
im sure they mean well and they try in these country's in se Asia, i just wouldn't get eye surgery even lazer on eyes or any surgery i dont even want to get surgrey in America or europe either unless i really really have to, to live a long live thats only when i would do but my life would have to be threated medically before i do it, if money is no object, i might go to Singapore or a international medical center that is recognized by the world or travel to a world recognized medical center in Europe or travel back to America to get it done if its a must to protect my life, no offense to anyone that is a medical personal in a se Asian country outside of Singapore, Thailand, i just hear a lot of problems happen if you are going to the doctor/er over there for anything above blood test's again i mean no offense. im curious, if the medical people cant speak good english why dont you ask them to speak to your girl in their native language and she can translate, so the info isnt slow flowing, from a youtube guy, sounds like they told you, your heart is pumping at 50 percent but maybe i heard that wrong and they were refering to blood vessels im unsure but when it comes to medical stuff i would want a good understanding have your girl translate it to you.
Best of luck to you Jerry, hope everything works out well and you get well soon.
Thanks a lot.
God Bless You two!

SO sorry for this ongoing ordeal I'll be praying for you Kuya
Thank you!

That’s good to know. The doctor said I dont have to worry for now.
Diabetes destroys the capillaries in the eyes. CARNIVORE CARNIVORE CARNIVORE.
You're right about diabetes and capillaries. The rest is absolute nonsense 😂

Thank you so much.
I’d take the second surgery like you are going to do Jerry. Love your videos. But so sorry you are having health issues
That’s what my choice too. Thank you for watching!

@ Welcome, Jerry. If you need any assistance let me know.
Right off the top of my head (and the Mayo Clinics) it sounds like she tested for your left ventricular ejection fraction. 50-70% is normal. 41-49 is considered mildly reduced,
She said there’s a little difference but nothing to worry about. Thanks for watching.
Jerry, I'm with a few of the others. Maybe it's time to come home for a minute to get this done with. God bless, my friend.
I wish it’s that easy.

There are Many doctors from the Philippines who have been licensed in the USA.

My mother got eye injections for macular degeneration. I think it was from bleeding called wet eye or something like that. Best of luck...

Thanks for your advice.
Jerry, it seems you health is deteriorating fast... would you consider going back to USA to seek better treatment ? Best of luck...
I wish it’s that easy. Thanks for watching.
Is that $6,000 pesos or US? $6,000 pesos is only a little over $100 US
It’s in $$$. Thanks for watching.

im sure they mean well and they try in these country's in se Asia, i just wouldn't get eye surgery even lazer on eyes or any surgery i dont even want to get surgrey in America or europe either unless i really really have to, to live a long live thats only when i would do but my life would have to be threated medically before i do it,
if money is no object, i might go to Singapore or a international medical center that is recognized by the world or travel to a world recognized medical center in Europe or travel back to America to get it done if its a must to protect my life, no offense to anyone that is a medical personal in a se Asian country outside of Singapore, Thailand, i just hear a lot of problems happen if you are going to the doctor/er over there for anything above blood test's again i mean no offense.
im curious, if the medical people cant speak good english why dont you ask them to speak to your girl in their native language and she can translate, so the info isnt slow flowing, from a youtube guy, sounds like they told you, your heart is pumping at 50 percent but maybe i heard that wrong and they were refering to blood vessels im unsure but when it comes to medical stuff i would want a good understanding have your girl translate it to you.
