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 remember telling my husband "what the heck have I done to myself???" That thought fades fast. As soon as the weight starts falling off and you adjust to being stasfied with the "new" way of eating you will be so pleased!! I must say that I have not had any complications as of yet so my experience was not as bad. My biggest regret was due to the emotional attachment with food. I literally thought that I would be miserable for the rest of my life because I could no longer stuff my face!! That has passed....thank god! Things will get better and easier!!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | Yeah I slept on the couch for 2 weeks in a semi sitting position, propped up by pillows. You definately have buyers remorse in the beginning, but it does get better and you will totaly change your mind. Hang in there and remember sip sip sip and use a baby spoon to eat if you need to, I still use one when I eat so I dont take too big a bite. To sip try using a medicine cup from a cough syrup bottle, that helps so much too |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Honey do exactly as they asked you to do and you should be ok. Its tough at first. Surgery is hard no matter what type you had. Did they do the laproscopic or did they have to open you up? If your drinking with a straw stop it. It will cause you to get bubbles in your tummy and cause even more gas. You need some quiet time to yourself and be comfortable. It helps alot. Let us know if you need us ok? |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Very happy to see you made it home! You had a bunch of prayers floating your way this week.   I am sure they helped somewhat. Rest.  Walk. Drink.  Remind yourself to tell me the same when the time for my surgery comes.  How is your baby holding up?

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I'm sorry you've had sucha tough time of it. I hope things will get better soon, but your attitude will defitely change about doing it at all. Once you see yourself melting away and all the marks and pain is long gone, you will be like Boots.
