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.  |

| Super Moderator  | I'll see if I can get some data at the workshop I'll be attending today. The majority is R en Y bypass, either open or lap, but most it lap these days, a few gastric banders and no Mini nor Sleeve. Actually, from what I have read so far, only about 15 surgeons do the sleeve. Duodenal switch, a kind of bypass and sleeve combined, is also another form, and there are more DS patients than just sleeve patients. Let me send you a list you can use after I come home. Right now, I am already 5 minutes late!!!

| Super Moderator | Okay, so I was too pooped last night when I came home to be able to sort out my notes. In the US, the data is the latest, for 2005, I think, it's still to early to get the 2006 data. Roux en Y bypass 77% Lap banding 16% Sleeve gastrectomy 3% others (Duodenal switch, Biliopancreatic diversion) Consider all that can be done either open and lap as combined, the slides went by too fast for me to get everything correctly, I shoulda taken my camera along!!! (Yuck, after thought, they usually provide an abstract for the lectures, but the ones for the foreign speakers were incomplete...  )Here's the link for the types of surgery page of the weight loss center the speaker belongs to. Weill Cornell Weight Loss Surgery: Healthcare Services Also the link to the NIH guideline for bariatric surgery. It gives a summary of the major types of surgery, but sleeve is not included in this yet. WIN - Publication - Gastrointestinal Surgery for Severe Obesity I have also put up a post explaining the sleeve gastrectomy here. http://www.renewedreflections.com/fo...html#post28256 Mini gastric bypass is a procedure done only by certain surgeons in Taiwan (Formosa) because they felt the procedure better for the Taiwanese whose pre-op medical issues are somewhat different from the Americans. I understand the differences, but I'm not going to go there here, it's probably going to be too complicated, need to explain too much things. The surgeon who does the mini-gastric bypass was at the workshop yesterday. I need to sort through the notes I took yesterday, it is messy  and I am having fun trying to decipher it, remembering what was said.
