Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  Okay, it feels real now.... ....and so do my nerves! I had my appointment today with the anethesia nurse and suddenly it feels frighteningly real that I am having surgery in ELEVEN DAYS!!! I am really starting to get nervous; not sleeping well, a bit short fused and I know it is all normal, but please tell me again that surgery is not so bad! I am suddenly feeling terrified!  |

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 | 11 days...exciting! I like the way Leelee says it...11 sleeps! Yes, it's a little unnerving - becoming more of a reality. You'll do whatever you have to do and everyone around you will just have to take it (cool huh?) and understand. And yes, you will be fine, a bumpy couple of days but so worth it! Come here often and we'll all talk you through it!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | In all honesty the first couple of days may seem a bit rough, but it is worth it. Kinda of like having a baby....you'll forget the pain and realize that you wouldn't change a thing once you see the weight start falling off. You will do great. Yippee!!! 11 days! |
