| Super Moderator  |  Article on Bariatric Medicine. Here is a link to an excellent overview article for PCPs that should also be informative for you. If you have a PCP who is not familiar enough with weightloss surgery, this can be a good summary article that can serve as a starting point. Primary Care Takes on Bariatric Care Kurt Ullman DOC News 2006;3 14-15 http://docnews.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/content/full/3/7/14

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 | GREAT ARTICLE!!!! AND i know i agree 100 percent with the looseing 5 to 10 percent pre op reduces complications. MY surgeon has LOW complication rate amongst his patients because of his strict rules on pre op weight loss. I think this is a great article and i sure hope my REGULAR doctor reads it so he can better care for me over the years ahead. THANKS doc

Height: | I do kinda wish that my surgeon had been more tough with me, but all is well now so there is no use in my stressing about it now. I wish I would have spent more time enjoying ceasar salad pre op and steak. Janae |
