 |  900 Lb man This link is for the home town news for this man and there is also a vid on CNN about this poor man. I felt bad there near the end when the woman was saying about life style changes and smaller portions when the brother stated that this man has the bottomless pit syndrome. It is much more of a problem that cant be treated with just smaller portions. My heart goes out to this man and his family and I hope he gets the care he needs and people remember that there is a human under all that and treat him as such.

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 | A few days ago in Lansing, Michigan there was a similar story. Apprently the gentleman needed medical attention and they had to take a construction crew to his house and tear out a wall to get him out. They used as forklift to extricate him. Pretty awful!

| I hate to say it but I really think I would rather die then go through that. It has to be the most degrading thing ever.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | That is so horrible for anyone to have to endure, much less have it blasted across the country for millions and millions of people to see. Poor guy. I can't see how diet alone would work. He would need extra help after the surgery, but in the long run I would think it would be more helpful to have less stomach to work with in that situation.... And once again! GRRRRR to the idea that RNY is a "quick fix" !!!! At least that was the impression I got from the nurse's quote.

| Yes I was not happy with the attitude of that nurse. She was a poor pick for an interview. And I was ticked off by the end of her talk.
