Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Over the hill and through the woods ...
Well, the truck is packed and in the morning, we're heading west to a family reunion. No one in the family has a clue that I have done anything to lose weight, much less endured this radical and highly dangerous surgery!  It'll be interesting to hear the horror stories and "concern" from my mother-in-law!  She is a medical authority of some renown, having a firmly formed opinion on any subject, regardless of facts unknown!  I have a sister-in-law with a master's degree in nutrition, who has been working in the field for over 20 years, so I'm sure she'll be wanting to talk about the whole process from a point of professional curiosity. I've decided that I'm going to be right out in the open with WLS, and not hide anything. I need to do that for my wife, so that next summer when we go back and she's 100 pounds lighter, I'll have prepared the family to accept this again. We'll also be spending some time with my stepfather, who could stand to drop a hundred or more, but he never will until it drops him. But this should be an eye opener for him, especially with the corresponding health effects I've experienced. I'll check in from the road when I get access at hotels or truck stops. It's 1200 miles each way. If the price of diesel were lower, we'd take the bus, but can't do it this year! Drat!! But we'll be going through the Black Hills the weekend before Sturgis starts (ever hear a Harley? Ever hear a thousand of them?) and then we'll be crossing Wyoming during Frontier Days in Cheyenne. Either event has been known to suck up all the hotel rooms for several states around! Coming home, with Sturgis at full throttle, we're going to chicken out and stay south on I-80 through Nebraska! So I'm off to spread the WLS gospel to the heathens! Wish me luck!! CT

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.  |

Sounds like fun!!!! I would LOVE to go west. It's the only part of the US I haven't been too. Goodluck with the family. I suspect you'll be able to set them right on WLS.. just a feeling I have. As for Harleys.... we have a neighbor who has one and he just LOOOOOOVES to rev up that thing as he goes past the house. Usually when my kids are napping.. Hmmmmm Hey Kim... are you familiar with Michael W. Smith's "Go West Young Man" album?? Now I have that song in my head. I used to play that over and over.
