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 have had a lot of swelling and water retention in my legs and feet also the past 2 weeks. I am not even 3 months out and have only lost 1lbs in 2 weeks. I have been trying to push as much water as possible and the more i drink the bigger my feet get!! No Wooshing here either. I just tell myself as soon as this water retention goes away I will drop like 3lbs. I have been eating well and working out 2.5-3.0 miles a day. I have to drop soon...right????

| Super Moderator  | Every one loses differently. Don't fret. If you lose one lb in 3 days, that's 10 lbs per month. 10lbs per month for 12 months is 120lbs. How does that sound? The emotional ups and downs come with this journey. It's as much a mind game as a physical trip. If you fret with the scale numbers, it will make this journey more difficult that it actually is, when it already is not an easy journey. Just stick to your surgeon and nut's program, and everything will turn out fine in the end. A quarter of your excess weight gone in one month is exemplelary. Remember, you are expected to lose half of the total weight you expect to lose in the first 6 months--according to your stats, that means aobut 75 lbs for you, and you have already lost more than half of the 75. You're doing very well. Also, being one month out means that your insides are still healing, and adjusting to the new layout. If you force your body to lose more weight than at the pace it is setting, that can be harmful. I can understand your frustration, but let your body lose at its own pace, your body knows what's best in terms of keeping you healthy while you lose rapidly. ((((((((HUGS))))))

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | You have done a fantabulous job, Emily. I am worried about the fainting feeling/dizzyness you mention. How many grams of protein/day are you getting? Keep a diary, please. You may not be getting enough protein to sustain you. 80-100 gms is what I have been taught. calorieking.com has research tools for foods that includes protein.

However, as with everything else, do as your surgeon says. About the dizziness, if you are taking blood pressure meds, be sure to check your blood pressure at least every few days, because it will come down as you lose weight, and you will need less medication, or none at all. Also, if you feel faint or dizzy during exercise, it may be that you are getting dehydrated while exercising, so be sure to have a bottle of water with you whenver you exercise.
