Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  I wasn't able to even sleep on my side till 4 weeks post-op. I took longer for some reason. Now I can flip over and not feel pulling or pain. But yes, on your back for so long...hard to sleep and gets painful. Sleeping propped up or with a pillow under your knees may help, takes some pressue off your lower back.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Yes, the back muscles are doing things they never had to do before, I remember that, things will get better as you begin to heal. I hated sleeping on my back too, now that the sleep apnea is gone I find myself doing it more, and I kinda like it now!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I couldn't sleep on my side or stomach either, do I used a pillow while lying on my side and propped the pillow by my stomach and it help very much, looked for a body pillow but they didn't have any around so just used a regular pillow. It will get better.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | LOL, I just now realized that my back pain after surgery wasn't due to the bed. HA HA I was sleeping in the guest bedroom because we have a waterbed and I knew I wouldn't be able to get out of that for awhile and I thought the mattress was giving me the back pain. LOL silly me. |
