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 |  Why would we need to? I mean, diet pills are all about appetite suppression and our biggest challenge after surgery is ensuring we eat enough? I think it would be dangerous for our bodies to try anything like that? Doc? |

| Super Moderator  | Yes, as Jill says, why would you need diet pills? If you use your tool properly, you wouldn't have any use for diet pills. Some damage the heart, some the liver, etc. Your system has been overhauled as is, and as far as I know, diet pills haven't been proven as being safe for bypass patients.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | Every single site I've ever been a part of this question comes up! The minute people get to a point they feel 'they are not losing enough' or whatever this comes up.. diet pills don't work anyway and like doc says they can harm the liver and kidndy and heart!! we work hard enough to stay healthy and keep good nutrition going that should be the focus.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Actually its not me I know of someone who had the surgery several years ago and started to gain some of her weight back and she started taking hoodia I couldn't find any info about not doing it to support me telling her not too. Was hoping someone had some info I could pass on showing the risk of it other than the normal risks to someone who hadn't had the surgery. |
