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 | The purpose of this study is to evaluate an incisionless procedure for patients who have either had inadequate weight loss or have regained weight following gastric bypass. The procedure is designed to tighten the opening between the stomach pouch and the small intestine, which may slow down the passage of food to help patients feel full longer after eating. The procedure is similar to endoscopy and the enlarged stoma is sutured without the patient having an incision. It's going to be 3-4 stiches in the stoma to tighten it, much like pulling a purse string together. The procedure is currently in clinical trials at 10 hospital throughout the US: Denver, Colorado; Baltimore, Maryland; Boston, Massachusetts; St. Louis, Missouri; Lebanon, New Hampshire; New York City; Cleveland, Ohio; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Dallas, Texas; Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | At least that's what it is designed to do. I've read impressive results so far from people who have had the procedure - feeling restriction once again, and satiety far longer following meals. I just hope I'm one of the lucky ones who actually gets the procedure and not the "sham" procedure. Betsy
