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 it set to record on my DVR!! When it first aired (what 1 or 2 weeks ago?) I thought "wow, my heart really goes out to these people, they realy struggle with weight". I forget his name, but the biggest young man they had on the show had bypass and the father/son team seemed genuinely worried for him because they feared for his life becasue he was sooooooooooo large. AND THEN i started crying because I am "one of those people". Not sure how I could ever forget that, but seeing it on TV just hit it home for me. Nothing like reality in your face. The more comfortable I get in admitting my addiction, the less excuses I make for it and the freer I feel. But it is so hard to break the denial wall I have built around my weight--- trying to play it off as no big deal. I have always been the large one in the group, but to the outside world I always seemed confident regardless and I never lacked for male attention. I had them all fooled, even myself i guess. Seeing shows like this, and then in thinking over my reactions to the show is an eye opener  I am glad to see this show on TV so that the public can be aware of just how hard it really is. And that there is hope for those of us that need help

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Yes I had never seen it before. Last week Lisa did a post on it but I completely missed it and has no clue what everyone was talking about. As for your epifany (sp?) we all hit a point where we realize that we let our own situations get out of hand. I myself weighed 275 at my highest. You do not realize until it has crept up on you and then its too late. This whole process forces you to look at everything you put into your body and why. This show is awesome. Id never seen or heard of any of this until this past year. Truly amazing.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I recorded it and haven't watched i tyet. But I must say that after seeing the first two shows I was a bit disappointed. They have the perfect opportunity to educate the public that obesity is a disease. They aren't showing all the struggles to get approved for the surgery, the life style chages you have to make. They just make it look easy - like everyone thinks it is until they go through it. And where are these girls getting the money for plastic surgery?!!! |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | It was pretty good. I got a little emotional I must admit. I found myself relating to all of the stories. I mean I know I wasnt ever 400+lbs, and was never confined to a bed or anything (but i saw myself that way and sometimes still do) It's so sad and hard on the families too. But we are all here because we are trying to change this and take control. This was my first time seeing the show and I am now a fan. Cant wait til next week.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I have been watching it too since the beginning. I think last nights show was the 3rd one. The one poor guy I do feel for. WOW. But he is doing sooooooo good now. He has lost over 500 pounds. And I loved it when he was in bed doing his little boogie dance and moving!!! I laughed and also had tears in my eyes. I do admit that I have to turn my head when they show the blood and gore parts. I get the hebby cheebies!!!!! but its a great show. |
