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 | Depends on the surgeon- Mine does an ultrasound and if you have ANY stones or signs of an unhealthy gallbladder he takes it out. After surgery your chances of gallbladder issues increases, so he doesn't want people to have to go through another surgery. I had a bunch of stones in mine, so they took it out. I am glad they did! I don't want another surgery for a long time!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   | My surgeon said that he will give the GB a looksy to see/feel any stones. If all is good, he will leave it. I asked, "Why not take it out? You are already there!" He replied that 75% of biliary systems to NOT have issues after weight loss, and if it can remain intact, first do no harm.
