Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  Almost there I finally got all my tests done, saw all four professions (nurse, nutrionist, nut & surgeon) and have most of my classes done. So now it's just up to me to loose 10% of my excess body weight. I need to loose at least half that before they will submit to insurance for approval. I cut out all my starbucks specialty coffee and soda. Quit smoking 2 1/2 months ago. I've started on protein shakes for breakfast & lunch and a protein and veggie for dinner. I get 64oz of water in a day. I'm going to start back walking in the evening again. Am I missing anything??? Does that sound ok? I feel a little lost...I've had all these classes about post-op, but nothing to help prepare and loose the weight pre-op. I'm concerned that if I loose the weight, that insurance will drag out and I will regain...ok I'm rambling now. Thanks for listening.

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 | Sounds like your head is swimming. Take it one day at a time. Keep the ball rolling for insurance and all that, try to lose the 10% too. But try not to make yourself crazy. Read here and ask questions, write things down too if it all seems scattered right now. We'll help you! And if insurance takes longer, stay here with us and we'll help you be accountable and keep the 10% off while you wait!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | I did medifast and lost 40 lbs in 6 weeks. It was from the bypass doctor and you do only 5 shakes a day (450 cals). I had to go once a week for check ups, but it worked!!!

| That is pretty similar to what I am doing. Congratulations on getting rid of the cigarettes!! Patients who smoke do not do as well after any surgery. Smokers heal slower and have more respiratory complications. You will add years to your life with just that lifestyle change. (not to mention, a few dollars to your wallet!) |
