Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  New to the forum and waiting on operation date! Hi! I am a 34 years old and am ready to change my life by having Gastric Bypass Surgery. I had my first appt with the surgeon yesterday and just felt awesome about him and his staff. He told me they were sending a letter to insurance and would let me know when they hear from them. I have 3 of the comorbidies and decent insurance, so let's all pray it goes through. My date should be within the next 4-8 weeks and I hope it is 4. My hubby had the surgery two years ago and my best friend had it a year and a half ago so I am ready to be the skinny yet healthy one now... I have my first nutrition meeting on Tuesday for four hours. I am so excited. I am ready for this journey and would love to find someone to share their experiences, to experience this with me, and to just support. I am going to try and do better with keeping up with the forum, but I am really good at email as well. Any advice, suggestions, I am ready for them.

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.  |
