Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   |  body fat ok i think i am on a roll with the stupid questions lol! when you go to the gym and they calculate your body fat, they squeeze your skin in this thing and pinch it in certain areas and by magic they come up with a percentage ofyour body that is fat. i guess my quesiton is, is that accurate being that we have so much skin hanging all over the place???? this is the thing they use. BPDY FAT THINGY.jpg anyone else ever wonder this or am i the one last true space cadet??

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 guess what got me thinking was, i went to have a sit down with the guys at the gym in the complex where i work. of course they have never worked with a bypass patient...(has anyone?? lol) so they explained that as you lose body fat the less skin they'd be able to pull. so i got confused because as im losing weight the MORE skin you can pull LMAO!!! so i figured i'd ask. now im VERY curious.

| Super Moderator  | In your case, caculating body fat that way will be inaccurate. You will need the kind of scale that measures body fat by a method called impedance. This run a very low and harmless volume of electricity through you and calculate through the resistance.

| Super Moderator | Some gyms have a very upscale type of that kind of scale. It's called Inbody. The gym I go to has one. If you are going to get that kind of scale, get the four point type, the one that has handles and the scale you step on. That type is more accurate.

 There's a type of scale that has a handle that you pull out attached to the scale. Here's a pic of the Tanita Inner Scan scale. You can see the handle on the top. You pull it out and grip it with both hands while measuring.
