<prompt> Human: I lost 210lbs three years ago. Ive saved up just under 11k for a loose skin removal surgery. The doctor said the surgery would cost anywhere from 6000 to 8000. My work requires that I can bend at the waist and move heavy objects. The doctor says I should not go back to work for 4 - 8 months after the surgery depending on the recovery time.I live with three fantastic house mates who are more than willing to take care of me, but I will need to pay rent, eat food, ect..What are my financial options moving forward out of the surgery that will put me out of my job for a few months? Is unemployment an option?EDIT: More information;Im a temp seasonal employee, so I will not qualify for medical leave through my employer. However, I will 100 have a place back at work after Ive recovered. My remaining saving after the surgery will not enough to pay my bills for 8 months.I make 15hr, but the cost of living is very high where I live.  <response>: Might you qualify for temporary disability while you recover, andor Medicaid until you have income again?
