Gastric Bypass ?’s And How To Tell Family?

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

I am really considering Gastric bypass I just have some problems. First of all, I guess its best to let you know I am 6ft and 335lbs. male and I am 20yrs. old also I live in N.J.. I know this is severely overweight and morbidly obese. I am a full time student I also work full time. I am still covered under my dads insurance (cigna) which I believe has some type of gastric bypass coverage(not totally sure). What am trying to find out is how to tell my parents that I want to get this done I am afraid of it being shot down and dismissed as just a fad or phase. I already got 1 back surgery under my belt, and my back is only gonna get worse if I stay at this weight, my health can only get worse. Besides that how much is it gonna cost (with and without insurance). What are the after cost? I know there are many different procedures which one would be best for me? What major life changes will I have to make after the surgery? um….. If you can think of something else I should know plz comment
thx

Have Any Of You Guys Had A Gastric Bypass? Can You Tell Me Your Experiences With It?

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Have any of you guys had a gastric bypass? My doctor has told me to think about it and told me that I have the misconceptions about it. I thought when you have this procedure done, there are certain foods that you can no longer eat, but she says that’s not the case.
Can anyone tell me anything about it and how your experience has been? How much weight did you lose? I know how the surgery is done, but what do you do to prepare for the surgery and what happens after? Thanks.
