Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass    |  What would you change?
Being at various stages of this process, I am sure we've all had different experiences; some good, some not so good. At this point in your journey, if you knew then what you knew now, what would you change? For me, I would have taken an extra 6 month pre-op to go thru psych treatment. who's next??

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.  |

HMM WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS IVE HAD I STILL DONT KNOW IF I WOULD OF CHANGED ANYTHING. WHEN I WANT SOMETHING REAL BAD IM VERY DETERMINED TO GET IT DONE. LIKE WHEN I MADE THE DECESION TO GO THRU WITH THIS I WAS SO DETERMINED I MADE SURE I FOUND DOC'S THAT WOULD SEE ME RIGHT AWAY FOR CLEARANCE. AND BECAUSE I DID THAT IT ONLY TOOK 5 WEEKS FROM THE DAY I MADE THE DECESION TO GO THRU WITH THIS SURGERY SEE THE SURGEON FOR CONSULTATION, THE CLEARANCES AND THEN THE SURGERY. WHEN I WANT SOMTHING I GO ALL THE WAY. BUT DONT GET ME WRONG I DID RESEARCH AND THINK ABOUT THIS FOR ALMOS A YEAR.  I JUST HOPE I DIDNT MAKE THE WRONG DECESION. YES I HAD ALOT OF BUMPS THRU THIS SHORT JOURNEY BUT I KNOW THEY ARE JUST ABOUT BEHIND ME NOW AND IT SHOULD BE SMOOTH SAILING AFTER MY NEXT DIALATION. (cross fingers) LOL

I guess I would say the same thing Jill said. Why didnt I do this sooner. I feel so much better and Im doing so much more. Today I went with my family and we went up to the Adirondack Mountains and I climbed a mountain. It was about 3 miles up an and back and I got a great work out. I never would have done that before surgery. I felt so good to be able to go up with the rest of them. In the past I would have waited at the bottom till they all did it. So yes I would say I wish I did this sooner than this year.

For me 5 years ago I knew insurance covered it and I knew I could get it done but I talked myself out of it and wasted 5 years. I am happy however that I have had it done here in Hawaii at the bariatric clinic I am going through because the follow up care is amazing I see my psycologist monthly for 5 years.
