gastric bypass

I am going through the motions of getting gastric bypass, I was told today that I can get it before getting my insurance approval. I am really excited. Can anyone tell me what your experiacne was this, did it all work out in the end? I was told I MAY BE ABLE TO GET BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.

Hi there,

There are a lot of hoops to jump through with insurance. I’ll send you a fun mail with some information I have :)

Answer #2

Hi - I had my gastric bypass in April of 2007. It was THE best thing that I ever did. I didn’t have any trouble with the insurance and the procedure itself went smoothly. Obviously there will be some pain, but that is too be expected. You will be given painkiller and the pain will subside after a few days.

I have lost 120lbs so far. I have another 30 to go, but I had back problems and ended up having back surgery, so that has kind of slowed my weight loss. I’m doing better now, and starting to work out alittle, so I’m hoping to lose the rest by the end of the summer.

Please feel free to ask any question you might have.
