| Newbie |  New Here I will be having surgery soon. My surgeon says I shouldn't have much? excess skin and that men store fat differenty than women? I'm 5'10' 280 big boned type. My cardiologist said my 5 heart bypasses will fail within 10 years if not before if I dont have the surgery.Any thoughts or reflections will be greatly appreciated! |

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.  |

| Super Moderator  | Welcome to the board. You deserve an independent thread so I have taken the liberty of moving your post and have given you one. When is your surgery date, and what type surgery are you going to have? Yes, the fat deposit areas for men and women are different but men sometimes do need plastics, too. CraigT who hosts this site had TT. He is about your height, maybe an inch taller, and was 400 at his highest and hovers just under 200 now. May your journey go well.
