|  So... I'm healthy as a horse...... I went for my physical last week and was declared a healthy specimen by my PCP, then I went in today for the gallbladder U/S. The tech checked out both kidney's, my liver, my spleen, gallbladder and said I was in EXCELLENT shape. She said... "You have a very excellent anatomy....." and gave me a long look. I felt like there was a fill-in-the-blank there. As in.... You have a very excellent anatomy so why would you do this to yourself?!? Do any of you ever feel like people have said that to you or made you feel that way?? I don't have any underlying issues other than weight bearing on my joints. I know I made the right decision but it's hard sometimes when someone, just for a split second, has you second guessing yourself. That's all.. just needed a small vent.

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 never had a problem with people thinking I should not have it done. I always had possitive respones from family and friends becasue I was just soooo overweight. I needed the surgery and they all knew that I was so misserable with all that weight on. I thank God everyday for my surgery and my whole new outlook on life being much more healthier now and I am going to get more healthier with more pounds that I am going to lose. I am getting so many compliments on my weight loss.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | You Know, I Too Was "perfectly" Healthy Besides My Obesity..... My Response To Anyone Who Questions Me About My Decision Is, "i Am Not Comfortable Being This Size, & Sooner Rather Than Later, It Will Hurt My Health." I Want To Be Around, Having A Good As Possible Quality Of Life With My Hubby & Kids. I Have Issues With Self Confidence, & Am Very Easily Convinced That Others May Be Correct, But With This Surgery, I Can Say That I Know I Made The Right Choice For Myself, My Future, And My Overall Happiness!!!!! You Do What You Feel Is Right.... Lol, |

| I have no major health issues yet and I underline yet. This is why I want the surgery is to help keep my good health as long as possible. Any way my poor knees can not take much more of this weight. I hope that one day I get the chance to tell a person who gives me a blank stare "to get a life". Ed.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I was 286 with people telling me I wasn't big enough. And you may be better now, but because of the surgery and resulting weightloss. Don't they realize if you didn't lose the weight, eventually you would have been in roguh shape!

Weight Loss Method - | As everyone has said you do what is right for you. I am 300lbs and people tell me I am not big enough to have surgery. I don't know if they are trying to amuse me or are afraid of something themselves. I can't wait to be able to have the surgery!

| Super Moderator  | Congrats. That means, you're in good enough shape to be able to expect the most out of surgery, and the least worries about having complications. Your surgeon is going to be pleased to be able to give you your tool while your basic health is in good condition. ((((((HUGS)))))
