What types of things did you need to do in order for your insurance to approve bypass/lap band surgery?

February 23rd, 2010
Anon asked:


A guy at my work had to do a sleep study, lose a percentage of weight on his own, and have an MRI on his gallbladder for gastric bypass to be approved. I am wondering if anyone else had to do similar things. Also – if people could stray away from the “just excersize, you dont need surgery” responses it would be greatly appreciated. I am just asking a question, not looking for life advice.

If you have had the lap band surgery, what sort of supplementation do you take daily?

February 18th, 2010
NurseKatie asked:


I know it’s not as much supplementation as with a GBP, but I was just curious.. do you do the protein shakes three times daily, or just take mvi with minerals??? I am really strongly considering the surgery- tired of the “roller coaster” of weight loss programs. Any other advise for me regarding how your life has changed for the better or worse post- op?
