Hello there!! It all depends on weather your doctor or institution where you will be having the surgery accepts Medicare and or Medicaid. I know for a fact that Medicaid covers it, because my sister had the surgery done and she has Medicaid. Also it is approved faster than regular insurance. I have Aetna and it took me forever to get approved for the surgery and I had to provide a whole bunch of information, but my sister's process was super fast and like I said, she got her approval right away! There may be a possibility of finding some bumps along the way, but don't you get discouraged, the hospitals have professional people that know how to deal with these types of procedures and they know how to get you approved!! I wish you the best of luck on your surgery!!

Hey everyone!! I had the surgery almost 3 weeks ago, and I have only lost 10 pounds. I can't hardly eat anything, I am drinking my Water, and I am also taking my Protein and my Vitamins. I also walk for 40 minutes EVERY day, but I still don't see results. Am I doing something wrong? Other than that I fell great, I have lots of energy and I can pretty much do any activity I want. However I am scared that I will not loose the weight. Is this common?

Thanks everyone for the support!! I really needed to read stuff like this. My sister had the surgery about six months ago, and she already lost about 80 pounds, so on top of everything I have all my family asking me why am I not loosing the same way she did? And really all I can say to them is that everybody is different! I only wish I knew the answer to that :-) but thanks to you guys I will stay positive and I will definitely keep you posted when those horrible pounds start to come off!!
