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    | I think stats show fatalities among all surgeries around 1-2%. I'm sure you could check it out on Google. THAT'S ALL SURGERIES, not just RNY. Personally, I'd opt for a surgeon whose done more than 60. My RNY surgeon is a general surgeon, who speciualizes in RNY, and has done close to 3000 in the past 9 years.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I totally agree, find a WLS specialist. You don't go to a general surgeon for something like this, do your research. Good Luck...

Weight Loss Method - | I am in consensus with the others. Sixty seems to be a little low and being a general surgeon is also not that good I would opt for one that specializes in WLS.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | i agree also, 60 is kinda low, i also went to a surgeon who does thousands of these surgeries, he also does general surgery and has done 4 surgeries on me so i knew and trusted him, he also teaches classes, seminars for other surgeons, so it is important to find someone who has alot of experience

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Also I Found Out That Wl Surgeons Are At High Risk For Deaths And Complications And Thats Why Their Insurace Is Very Very Very High. I Just Found That Out Last Wk From An Other Surgeon I Had To See For The Mass They Found On My Breast. He Used To Be Cheif Of Surgery At A Hosp And Was Explaining To Me Why He Never Went Into Wls. Very High Ins AND HIGH RISK.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | i agree with everyone else. i have no idea what the actual rates are. all the stats seemed to be a bit skewed in my opinion. i can never tell if they are specific to WLS or all surgeries etc. PS. 60 sounds a bit sketchy...
