Writing A Report For School ... Opinions Please



Recommended Posts

I am havinf to write a report this semester on something I care about. Since i am going to be having surgery in a few days, i might as well write about this. I need to find somethig about bariatric surgery that is argumentative. So I was thinking how only some insurance companies pay for it and other will not . or another topic I though of id ... will the benefits of WLS outweight the risks ?

Help me out

They both sound good. You can also write about weight loss surgery versus weight loss/ diet programs. Since weight loss surgery is being judged as being the easy way out (we all know the real truth in that one), and that we should just be able to lose it on our own with diet.

So you think weight loss surgery vs. traditional diet/exercise

Whether or not it's more beneficial for insurance companies to cover surgery proactively rather than dealing with the costs of obesity related complications. It seems like common sense, but not all insurance believe the same thing. Or where to start coverage, would it be more beneficial to cover starting at a lower BMI? Goods luck

I like the surgery vs care for obesity related illnesses from the ins company's perspective!!

Someone just posted a video the other day about how weight loss surgery is becoming a very good treatment for type 2 diabetes. You could quote the news. I think I would love to read your report when you are done:) Good luck to you.

I actually dropped the class last night. 36 hours of homework in one week for all my classes and with surgery coming up I had to cut one thing out. I am going to be taking it next semester. my classes are 8 weeks long so they are very intense.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
