| Whipper Snapper  |  An Introduction Hey all, I just wanted to take a minute and say hello. I just came across this board today, but sure wish I would have found it several months ago. I am a retired veteran of 20 years in the U.S. Navy. I had a lap RNY procedure on April 26, 2006. I was very happy that all went well, and I didn't even really have any post-op discomfort or pain. Over the last 7 1/2 months or this journey I have been amazed at the changes my body has gone through. I started this thing out at 325 lbs. I was so excited when the weight began to fall off. I couldn't believe how much better I felt in just a very short period of time. Now a little more than 7 months later I weigh in at 210 lbs, I no longer use a CPAP machine, I no longer take the medications I used to for Bood Pressure and GERD, and I feel like a million bucks. I am so happy that I made the decision to pursue this. I look forward to getting to know some of you and to learn more about the journey you have traveled or are beginning to travel. I am always happy to share my experiences, trials, and successes in hopes that someone else may benefit from what I have gone through. Well, enough of bending your ears. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas filled with everything you desire.

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.  |
