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    |  Hey there... ....and welcome!! YES!!!  It's completely normal.... Every surgeon has a different regime...but most have you at least do some sort of liquid diet right before your surgery.... Its to shrink the size of your liver...thus causing more space to move the trocars around and safely perform your bypass. get ready...you are soooo close to your surgery date...about 6 weeks! Congrats!!!

| Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly. I have been reviewing the boards for a few months now and you are actually my inspiration. I saw your before and after photos and you took my breath away with your transformation. I hope that my surgery provides me with the same success. |

And of course, there is usually someone on the board during the day...and if it's not me....someone else will step in to help! We all feel very passionately about this journey.....and although not all personalities mesh....we all feel the same about helping in anyway we can! YOU WILL have an amazing transformation as well....you will be amazed. I know that I have been....with my own. I went thru a stage where I could barely believe it was "ME"....but now looking back, it's sooo hard to realize the pre-op was me. Just realize - although you are going to do an amazing transformation on the outside - you are the same woman....
