Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   |  Uggggggg Ok So I am now totaly discouraged. Met a woman today that is going through the same place as me for her surgery and guess what she has been waiting for 3 years. I am so discouraged I am wondering if they just keep making you wait in hopes that you give up. I know each military base is different but damn. I am stuck here until 2010. I'd like to have the surgery before then. Hell I have been researching this for 4 years. I am ready already. GGGGrrrrr just had to 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.  |

| Super Moderator  | Awwww, ((((((((HUGS))))))))) Becka. However, she is she, you are you. It just may be that for some reason, since you told us the there are a lot of sessions you have to attend to make sure you will succeed, there may be some factor on her side that the drs see need to be resolved first, and keep her waiting. So, keep your chin up, you go through the loops you have to go through and keep your faith, we are all here and rootin' for you, keeping you in our prayers.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I can tell you from having it through the military it isn't the insurance that takes forever its the clinic they send you too. When I was having it done in Kentucky it was going to take over a year because of the clinics waiting list, but got to Kansas and it was all done in about 4 months or less. Because of the way they did it at the clinic. So hang in there and keep trying. |
