Deirdra B asked:


I am considering having the mini gastric bypass surgery, and was just curious if anyone who has had the surgery knows the best way to get insurance to cover the procedure. I have blue care network, and im going to see my doctor at the end of the month, and plan on telling her that I want the procedure done. I have done extensice research on the surgery, and know that this is what I not only want to do but need to do. How commom is it that insurance will approve a wls?

Buff Me asked:


My doctor has me drinking nothing but water and high protein shakes (Ultramet 42 protien) before my bypass surgery. They are making me so sick that i had to stop drinking them. I feel like i want to throw up all day and i just cannot sleep since i have been taking them. I am more depressed and less energy.

I stopped drinking them and just waiting for my body to get back to normal.

What is the real purpose of drinking these shakes? Do i HAVE to drink them for the surgery to be done?
