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.  |

| WLS Mentor  | Congratulations and welcome kimmy411. This is the perfect time for you to come here, lots of good people with lots of good advice and some are even funny too. as for advice seeing the dr. is it a one on one with the dr. or an info. seminar? either way take notes and if at all possible bring a tape recorder and with the dr.s permission tape your interview or session. i know i wish i had brought one, there is so much info to absorb and you really don't want to forget anything. hope to see you in more posts and in chat soon freebird

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | CN27~ THATS so great that you have date. I had my surgery june 1, 2005. IT was the best thing i could have done, and you know what i can relate to your date change as i had to move my first surgery date out a week and i wasnt happy either. GOOD LUCK! and i look forward to getting to know you thru your posts!

| Newbie | Thanks Lisa. How long after your surgery did the fatigue set in and how long does it last? That's one of my worries because I work rotating shifts-sometimes 3 different shifts ina week-and I have slep deprivation already from the schedule-I don't want to get back to work and not be able to make it thru my shift. |
