Default the honeymoon

so what is the honeymoon period of this journey? is it as you are losing weight until your first plateau? or is it the whole time you are losing up till you get to your target weight?
just curious

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
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.

According to my surgeon and when he uses the lingo "HONEYMOON" he refers to the time frame which weight should easily come off as a result
fo the surgery. I hear varying from doctors as to how long this HONEYMOON Period is but in my surgeons eyes its 18 months. AFTER
that our pouch is at a bigger size, we can eat more then early post op
and weight loss will be harder but can still happen after this time frame.
I believe after this point our absorption is much increased.
DONT know if that helps
just what my surgone means with the HONEYMOON ....

I am hoping and praying for another 17 months that I need to reach my goal of about 150-160lbs..... Thanks for the explanation Lisa.

Thumbs up Check these out!!

I've recently bought this book Exodus from Obesity book that has a lot of explainations...I'd really suggest you get it...there is a lot of good info for pre-op.....the second is a book that a one of my friends gave me, I started reading two weeks before my surgery...and that was really great prep....Here are the two books:

Exodus from Obesity: The Guide to Long-Term Success After Weight Loss Surgery by Paula F. Peck

Before and After: Living and Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery by Susan Maria Leach

Hope you will check these out...Also you can click the book titles and that will take you to where you can review, read excerpts...or even buy the book on Amazon.com

Hope these help...they really have been really wonderful!!~ I actually wish I would've had the first book BEFORE my surgery.
