Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  soooooooooooo excited I'm extatic! I've been calling my ins. co. for the last week and half and they kept telling me it is still in review. Getting a little anxious but decided I wouldn't call until Monday. Got up this morning and kept feeling like I should call (i know it's only Thurs.) but this feeling wouldn't go away so I decided to call anyway. Guess what? I'm approved!!!!!  I couldn't believe it, all that worrying for nothing. So, I called my surgeon and my date is tenatively set for May 6. I have to go for a 2 hour preop meeting and then I'm ready. They said I don't have to loose any weight for surgery but I know it's much healthier if you do. Any recommendations on a good way to do it? I work out 3-4 times per week and drink lots of water. Probably could eat better.lol. Anyway I welcome any advice. Thanks.

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    | High protein (maybe a protein shake or two daily besides high protein meals), low carbs, no surgary foods or candy, and try to stop eating around 7 PM. Those helped me right before surgery.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Congrats on the approval! I love seeing people getting approved. Dave has some great ideas to help you out. Fresh food is a good choice to. Cook it if you can so that way you know what your putting into your food. Processed foods have alot of hidden stuff in them that just screams weight. |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Awesome! That is right around the corner. Wahoo!! Before surgery I supplemented my lunch for a liquid meal replacement I got from my doctor and got out my diet Pepsi and my daily Milky Way.....and of course the week before nothing but liquids. I am very happy for you.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Congratulations! I was on liquids 2 weeks before my surgery and even started trying to do a liquid for at least one of my meals before that. I also started practicing eating slowly and in small amounts as well as not drinking with my meals. That extra "practice" has really helped me post-op.
