Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
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.
my surgeon didnt really have a harsh protcal as others and the reason is he has his patients loose 10 percent of their body weight which does the same thing as the liquids pre op diets......reduces the liver size to make lap surgery safer.
I only had to go on liquids once i had drank the bowl prep drink the night before. SO for me I didnt have to and thats cause i was looseing weight pre op....
just feel out what your surgeon will have you do. I totally believe in the preop weight loss my surgeon sets fourth as if i he didnt have me do that i would have gained easily another 10 to 20 lbs in that poor me last supper syndrome of eating. HE is a strong believer that this reduces complications from the surgery and made me a big believer as well.
I had to do Friday evening, all day Saturday, Sunday...Surgery Monday morning........And drink this stuff to make me poop, and some pills to help the pooping LOL Needless to say i wasent full of it no more LOL........And i had to drive 2 hrs to the hospital.............It took me almost 3.5 hrs to get there......I was pooping all the way down LOL........I left a little bit of me at almost every exit LOL
LOLOLOL, Yeah hubby and i was having fun.....On the way down........Making a joke of it all..........I almost didint make it a couple of times.............I bet i lost 5 lbs pooping LOL.......Just on the way to the hospital............
Does anyone live in the sacramento area at all it would be really cool to have someone to hook up with like once a week to build some kind of support in real life if anyone is willing to make the time Freedom
Well, I guess I should consider myself to be a lucky person. My surgeon just had me stop eating the usual 12 hours before my surgery. SO THAT IS WHAT I DID. I ate myself silly in the 11th hour. HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL. GOOD LUCK TO YA!

FREEDOM, alot of surgeons offer support groups to help
patients? I know mine has you attend his information seminar
and a support meeting before you even come in and meet him.
SUPPORT is a key to staying on track!
HOPE you find a group or people in your area!
