Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  Having my bypass on Monday Jan 22 Well, 5 months of hard work and now I am ready for my surgery! My name is Valerie...I use to weigh 369 pounds....I lost 143 on my own doing the Atkins way of eating. I am unable to get down under 200 pounds and because of that and medical reasons (high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and major depression) I have decided to have a gastric bypass. My profile picture shows me at 269 pounds....that is the only large picture I could find. I am currently at 208. Monday is my big day and I am scared. Any help, advice, comments, suggestions are welcome  Thank you Valerie**** |

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 | atkins before surgery is good as the rules of atkins are similar to the way of eating for a wls patient. I used it for my required pre op weight loss and still follow what i learned when i did it other times...... good luck
