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.  |

Thanks soo much for your advice. You know, I can't wait to finally just get this over with and be on my way. So, I'm just getting as much advice as I posibly can. A friend of mine, her mom had it done and she gets really sick, I was just concerned. Like, is there any complications I should know about. Thanks again for the advice. Monique

Not to scare you, but yes, there are many potential complications--as there are with any major surgery, and most of these are common to any major surgery, not just gastric bypass, and can be avoided to a great extent with careful pre-surgery preparation, and selection of a competent and experienced surgeon. That said, the most common long term complication encountered by bypass patients is probably the dumping syndrome. Also, check out the article I have linked into this thread. Since it is written for professional healthcare providers, parts of the expression may be a bit technical, but I think it's a good review, and generally easy to understand for the patients as well. Hope these help.
