Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass     |  Talking about the surgery: Some of us whisper, some of us shout. Either way I believe we are each doing the best we can to manage the emotions and feelings associated with being obese and then taking drastic action to get control of our health. There is no right or wrong way when it comes to communicating about our surgery. FOR me i didnt tell everyone. I told immediate family and my clients.MY dad I told, and he felt this was far to drastic. HOW i wish he lived to see how happy and successful it went for me. I told my clients because of my line of work I didnt want them to think i had a contagious desease with all my sudden doctor appointments so i told them. NOW i am more open about things when people ask HOW DID YOU LOOSE ALL THE WEIGHT? but in the same breath I dont start the topic unless brought up by another. JUST me....hope this helps~

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.  |

| WLS Mentor  | i have told my mother and father, Roo and one other friend. My mother ended up taking care of telling everybody and their brother that i'm going to have this surgery. in some ways i was angry about this but then the reaction i got wasn't as bad as i thought it would be, well except with my brother and my mom herself. but my friend helped me by telling me that i was doing what i had to for my health and what other people thought should be of little importance since i know what it's like trying to live at this weight and they don't.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  Me...I'm the complete opposite. Once I got the "Major Players" out - Mom, Dad, siblings, close friends...it was basically a shout out. I didn't really care who knew....everyone knows I'm fat...soooo, I felt proud that I am doing something about that. I'm sure some willl judge me and think I took the easy way out...but, I don't really care what they think...I know I took the ONLY way out...and I am saving my life!! I've tried sooooo many different things...and have lost hundreds of pounds over and over.... I'm done....I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm soooo excited!! ***OH, btw....say, "HELLO TWOTERVILLE", for me!! thank you.... Never again will I live in Threedom! Praise God!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  Thanks Birdie... I'm sooo excited to see the scale under 300 and be out of THREEDOM!! Thanks for all you encouragement, in all areas.... I'm glad you are past 'what others think' too.

(Chuppy can REALLY attest to this...) I listen to many of you who have been doing this a while...like Lisa, LisaMarie, & Shelly....and hear all the challenges that are coming my way. Whew...this was not the easy way out...but for me the best way out!! Thanks for all the advise to enjoy my honeymoon period...I will make this tool work the best I can!!!~Lovin Ya'll.... (will I be able to say "ya'll" when I move up to NYC?? LOL.) Thanks to everyone here...I'm sooo excited to be on this board!! What a life saver... (((((((((((((((((((HUGE HUG))))))))))))))))))))))))) from the incredible shrinking woman...tee hee.... Can't ya just FEEL the LOVE????

| WLS Mentor | i definately agree femme, (and i haven't had the surgery yet), this is anything but an easy way out. If anybody says it is they are definetly not informed enough. i see the work that you all are doing and i am inspired but nervous that i may not handle things as well. I can only hope that i can be as strong as you all are. that's part of why i am so grateful to God for this site and to Craig and all the beautiful people here and all of the support that you all give. i don't think i can ever say thank you enough for all the support i've been given so far and all of the support i am hoping to have in the future. freebird

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Welcom Kritchie!!! Great to see you here!! Wow...great loss....and you are only 2mos post op....that is awesome. Are you feeling like you've integrated your new "eating style" with life yet.?? That is a huge challeng. I am about 3 weeks post op...and am still try to do this...It's a challenge not to think about food all the time...and have to see - "did I get my protein in??" "Am I drinking enough??" I am not by far on any sort of routine yet...though I'm sure that would help!!  Tell us how you are dealing with it all?? Thanks for posting!!

| WLS Mentor | wow kritchie your doing great! it's funny how you all say intergrating your new eating habits with your old life style. for me i think of it more as a total new life style with the changed eating habits as part of that. i mean things are changing right? More energy, healthy food choices, rate of eating, eating regularly schedualed meals, better self image as the weight comes off, and more and more pyhsical things that you can do as the weight comes off. Who knows maybe i'll see it different post-op but that's how i see it now. freebird
