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 | In addition to some of yours 1. Cross my legs 2. Ride in an amusement park ride with my kids 3. Go to the beach wearing a cute bathing suit without having to cover it with shorts and a t shirt I am sure there are more but that's what is popping in my head. BTW - I have to take a flight out for my job on next Tuesday, I have my own seatbelt extender, I am going to bring it but I am hoping I don't need it. Roz

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I've been wanting to do this... now I have time  Reasons I wanted WLS: (in no particular order) 1. To be able to walk without my feet hurting! 2. To stop knocking stuff over with my butt.  3. To stop having to turn sideways all the time when going through a tight spot. 4. To help make sure I'm there when my kids graduate school. 5. To help make sure I'm there to see my kids get married and have kids. 6. So I can ride rollercoasters again!!!!! 7. So I can fit into seats at the movies, concerts, ballgames, airplanes, etc. 8. To make *ahem* whoopee more interesting!  9. To make me more interesting to my husband!!!! 10. So I can sit at a picnic bench easily. 11. So I can stop people from making rude comments, stares, etc.  12. To set a better example for my kids.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I guess my main reason for the WLS was so everyday i didnt live in fear of a heart attack or stroke. BEFORE my surgery, just going up the stairs in my home made me huff and puff and be tired! that was scary!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I second to all of those including the diabetes, High BP, & High cholesterol, sleep apnea, etc. health reasons. But also to not die FAT and be remembered that way to feel good about myself to play with my grandchildren and see them grow up to give my husband what my exhusband had and threw away (can't get younger but can get more sexy and attractive) to quit using so much powder in the creases be able to sit in a booth at a restaurant to be able to get in the boat without being clumsy and scaring my husband & myself to quit visiting the Dr. on an almost weekly basis to buy clothes because I like them, not just because they fit to get rid of 8 huge containers of "maybe I will need these clothes" I could go on forever I think. A new life that I can enjoy is the main reason I want WLS. Mattie
