Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  What have we all lost besides weight? Yeah, so we all post our start, current and goal weights, and pictures to show that we're making progress. These are wonderful things, and I'm as proud of the story they tell about me as anyone here. But what else have we lost? Are there any benefits you have realized as a result of your WLS journey that don't show up on a scale or camera? As a for instance, my cholesterol is down about 100 points, and the ratio is a whole lot better than it was. Historically, my cholesterol has been as high as 400. Now it's 115. In recorded history it's NEVER been below 190! My BP is where it was in high school (back in the '60s!). My triglycerides, which have been as high as 1,600 (yes, the comma is in the right place!) are negligible. I have been taken off two long-term maintenance meds.  I also seem to have lost touch with my sleep apnea and can now sleep through the night without using my CPAP.  This is all in the last five months. And it doesn't even start to cover the increased energy and feeling of good health I experience daily. Anyone else have a success story to share?  da perfesser

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.  |
