Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   |  Big Medicine Television Show Has anyone seen the TV show "Big Medicine?" Apparently it is a weekly series on TLC (direct tv channel 280) about gastric bypass surgery. I think from what a coworker told me, that each week is about a different person having the surgery. The next showings on Direct TV are Sunday, July 1 at 5 pm and again at 6 pm EDT.

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 | Yep I watch it. If i miss it the TIVO records it for me. What I am liking about it now its showing how these Drs are fighting for the insurance to pay for people to have this done. They have a young man on there now that has been denied several times to have it done. I think the older Dr is supposed to get on the phone with the insurance company next week and fight. Its a rewarding show. If you watch......the show right after I will break your heart. Its showing how alot of overwieght people end up in nursing homes. |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | As far as that nursing home thing your talking about MsVickie...I think the hospitals called Gravinhurse Hospital...what a sad state of affairs that show is. Did you see the 1 were this lady who was a patient there had WLS. Then after they showed her sneaking food in a week after the operatioin. I think it was Wendys or somthing. Now wouldnt that just distroy that new pouch of hers or am I wrong !! But for most of the shows Ive seen its pretty depressing !

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | That is so sad about the lady who had wls. I watched several of the reruns this afternoon of the Big Medicine show. It was my first time to see the show and I found it very interesting. It was mostly about body lifts, but I think a brand new show is going to air tomorrow night.
