Gastric Bypass Cost

Well I have been on this program for about 6 months and have lost 20lbs. Its has helped my dad get off blood pressure medicine and my grandmother has lowed her insulin hots to half the dosage that she used to use. Im just trying to help america like someone has help me. This program allows youto lose the weightsafer and healthier. Asto you losin very quickly with gastric bypass. The thing that people fail to relieze is that they still end up on my program after all the surgery. So why not cut out the surgery and try my program. I garentee that if you follow it correctly you will see resultswithin thefirst week

I understand that there are diseases, genetics, and other factors that affect weight but there is a point on the way to becoming so obese your life is threatened, that you realize you have to change.
In Ontario, if a certain BMI is reached, Ontario Health Insurance Plan covers the cost of getting a gastric bypass surgery or another extreme weight loss surgery. Gastric bypass is around $16000-$18000. As I tax payer, I don’t see why I should have to compensate for people who can’t control themselves. These people need help for mental disorders; not surgery.
We can judge people who smoke because of their addiction and express our belief/opinions of religion, etc., but it’s still so taboo to say ANYTHING to people about how wrong it is to be obese!!!
***When I say fat or obese, I don’t mean chubby. I mean people who are extremely unhealthy because of weight***

I am 34 years old. I weigh 225 lbs and have fluctuated between 205 and 240 for about 14 years. I have seen a couple of people who have had gastric bypass or the lapband procedure and I want to do it so bad. However, I am curious about others who have had either procedure and how the outcome was, side effects, regrets etc. Also how much does the procedure cost and would you consider it worth it.

I dont mean overwieght or fat. I mean obese. I work in a building with 400 people and I would estimate that close to 100 of them are at least 100 pounds over weight, and several of them are cruising 375 and 400 mark.
What is the problem with the healthcare system?
Why arent these people’s doctors doing more to come up with radical weight loss strategies, such gastric bypass and doctor prescribed liquid diets?
I blame the medical professionals and the medical insurance companies for not being more agreessive about this problem.
As someone that has to pay a monthly fee to have health coverage, I blame these types of people for not being aggressive because the people that are obese are making my healthcare costs higher, because they are a drain on the system.
The obese people have more health problems as a result of their obeseity. Obeseity contributes to high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, leg and hip problems.
Please tell me your thoughts on this.

People seem to be of the attitude that it’s no big deal to be obese. However, the more people who are obese, the more all of us have to pay in insurance premiums! Being obese causes many health problems, and people who have gastric bypass or lap-band surgery are costing EVERYONE who has insurance money. Over 60% of the US is overweight, therefore we all end up suffering. Isn’t it time that insurance companies start offering HEALTHY weight people a discount and charging overweight people more? Make them “carry their own weight” so to speak?

Do they eat A LOT and gain the weight back ?
or can they gain it back eating like a person who hasn’t had bypass?
If they had Gastric Bypass and lost all of the weight would they still have to stick to a strict diet to keep from gaining it back?
Or are they just eating like hogs and feeding their faces every time they get the chance .. and gaining it back?

I have no insurance and would like to get gastric bypass done if so one out here knows any useful info I would be greatly thankful. There has to be something or someone that can give a girl some help.
