Height: Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  Ive now got the money!! Just to update you all - The money for my personal loan arrived in my bank account this morning. I have telephoned the secretary and am waiting to confirm my surgery date for RNY. I feel quite excited - what a fabulous xmas present! Although part of me is still a bit concerned about loosing this friend/enemy I have. Have any of you replaced your addition of food with anything else since surgery. Just wondered how i will cope?? |

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 | Yay for you. It comes and goes so quick. My best advise is stick to the plan from the surgeon re: what to eat, that is your best recipe. Don't try anything outside of your listed menu items, especially early on. I'm only 3 weeks out. I'm hoping my addiction if I get one will be exercise. I do it twice a day and feel like a bum if I don't. Have you gone through the whole program? Nutrition classes, dietician visits, psych appts, cardiac clearance. The psych appts are so important, so are the nutrition classes, it really opens your eyes for post op. You get blue in the first few weeks, especially on the liquids, jello and popsicles. You get mad that you've made the choice, mad at the food commercials. remember, exercise releases endorphins. get your fanny up and walk a bit further and further every day. Start to listen to your body, is your brain hungry or is your tummy, 8 out of 10 times its your brain use to its normal feeding schedule and answering the triggers from those commercials. That's where I am, good luck, keep us posted. There are so many answers on here for every feeling you have, someone has gone through it.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Congrats and Merry Christmas to you! This is an awesome gift and I bet you're gonna do great! No real addictions here, I think my experience was more habit than addiction. Oh, I thought I was addicted to chocolate but post op it just doesnt do it for me anymore; maybe it was the protein shakes? LOL but I almost never choose chocolate anymore. Dont be too surprised if your tastes change....
