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 | They will do chest X-rays if your over a certian age like 45 or if you have ever smoked. Its just routine. They want to make sure you healthy enough to undergo surgery. Same as for the EKG. Dont be worried about it its just protacol. |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | I think that is honestly a pre op for ANY sugery thing. I know i have had it done for other minor surgeries as well so it never bothered me any and just ruled it as a routine.......\

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I had to have a chest xray for my knee surgery. I think Lisa is right, it is pretty much standard any more for any type of surgery.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I asked my friend because I couldnt remember. She said its to check for clear lungs and is standard but they pay extra attention to them for people with breathing problems ( i.e. asthmatics) or smokers....makes sense I guess lol! I was both. I'm glad they checked

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | They are also looking for gall stones. If you've got stones, they will remove your gallbladder while they are in there. |

| Super Moderator  | With a routine pre-op chest x-ray, the things checked are: 1) lungs--no indication of infection, collapse, accumilation of water, lesions, adhesion, bulla, pneumothorax 2) trachea--deviation, width 3) heart--enlarged or not, indication of heart disease from the shape 4) aorta--calicification, torsion, anerurysm 5) diaphragm--elevation which sometimes indicates paralysis 6) ribs--fractures, disfigurations 7) spine--fractures, disfigurations 8) collar bones--fractures, disfigurations 9) scapula--fractures, disfigurations Not that every single one of them will actually affect the surgery, some do, some don't, but that's what we look for with chest x-rays. Some stuff, of course have special ways of taking the x-rays for diagnosis, like the bones, but we can still tell something.
