Nothing works better than a good diet and exercise. My friend did the appeal thing and got her bypass and lost the weight and is now back to almost her original weight because she didn’t change her life style and exercise and expected the by pass to be the magic answer.
if you don’t have other health issues and aren’t morbidly obese, they won’t pay for it. Sorry. Diet and exercise or you have to pay for it yourself.
You must have health issues in order for insurance to cover bypass surgery. They won’t cover the cost nor would a doctor perform the surgery unless obesity was affecting your health. Just not being able to lose some weight does not qualify a person for a bypass. It has to be a much more serious problem than that.
I had my gastric bypass surgery through Forerunners Healthcare Consultants in India I don’t regret it at all I had a baby since then and I’m still able to take the weight off so far i am very happy. The key is to use a reputable surgeon. You want to be carefully screened beforehand to make sure you are a good candidate. Since my surgery I can walk without getting tired, I can play with my son; I can walk down the street with my head held high. I feel pretty for the fist time in years. I was given another shot at life. The surgery is a tool and how well that tool works is up to you!!
I would do it again in a heartbeat. I would recommend to every one who is suffering from the same problems as I did before but I would urge anyone who is interested to seek the best surgeon possible and make the decision based on the surgeon’s recommendations and your own personal goals!! Make sure the reasons for the surgery are the right one. The surgery isn’t for someone who just “wants to be skinny”. Do it for your health, for your life, for family. FOR YOU.
