Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  i can't stop ! i hope the title of my post isn't too misleading. but... i can't stop reading posts from this support group! and then reading through numerous blogs that have been linked here. the information is so valuable to me. over a year ago i first joined this group anticipating to have WLS, however our insurance coverage was in the process of changing as a result of my employment changing, so i honestly thought WLS was not a part of God's plan for me. Well.. now it looks like there is a good possibility of this happening. i am at the very beginning with my 1st doctor's visit this thursday. although a lot of the posts here have been very informative i feel that i have thousands of additional questions.

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 realize that many of the questions will be answered once i actually visit the bariatric center where i anticipate having my surgery. my appointment this week is with an internist to get a complete workup/physical in hopes that he will recommend WLS. but two questions that i have - i have been pleased to see coffee is allowed after WLS, is there a limit? and, i am curious to know why chewing gum is not allowed.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | i think at first i was told 1 cup to start. i am now upto whatever i can handle but for each cup i have to drink and extra water because caffeine doesnt count towards your fluid intake for the day. they say gum is not allowed because further out chewing makes you hungry. AND if you swallow it it could cause an obstruction.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Joanne, good luck at the doctors Thursday. As you said, most of your questions will be answered then (write all your questions down--it helps) but know there will be some you won't remember and know if we can help with some fears you may have or questions ask away.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I drink coffee too and usualy about 4-5 cups a day. The gum thing is because if you swallow it it can cause lots of problems, getting stuck in our narrow opening, I accidently swallowed a tiny piece the other day and bought gave myself a heart attack |
