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

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
