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.

Um. yes, you can drink too much water and get "water poisoning".
Excess water will just about flood all your system, dilute the vital electrolytes (salt) balance and other nutritents as well in your blood stream, and also bloat your organs and tissued because the excess water will seep out of the blood stream into any space that will hold it, on order to keep the blood stream's water/electrolyte/nutrient balance good. Overloading will also be a strain on your heart as well, as it has to process much more blood stream than it is used to, and electrolyte imbalance hits the heart muscle very badly.
Over 110 oz water is generally thought of as too much.
In daily medical practice, the upper limit of IV infusion is 1500-2000 ml (54-72oz) per day depending on the reason you are being infused, and your overall condition. Over that is done only with specific conditions where you are losing a lot of fluids due to certain diseases or extensive burns and serious injuries.

I was gonna say - yes!!!!!! That is way too much - but Doc said it perfectly and explained exactly why, where as I definitely couldn't have made it sound so accurate. So please, you're doing great by drinking water, just not so much, ok?
