Gastric Bypass Surgery

Michelle H asked:


I am only 21 yrs. old, wanting to have Gastric Bypass surgery. I have been looking into everything. I want to know if having this is ruining my chances of having a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby? I don’t plan on getting pregnant right away but one day….Just needing to know if anyone has any opinions.

my friend has kaiser (full coverage) he’s thinking about having the gastric bypass surgery, does anyone know if kaiser covers it? and if not do you know how much it is. i heard that if your 100pds or more over weight they cover it. Also what kind of questions should we ask them that we wouldnt have thought about.

Before I have my gastric bypass surgery in March, the hospital told me they’re going to have to run a series of blood tests. I was wondering if anyone knows what these tests are for? And also, would the discovery of marijuana in my blood be reason for them to deny me the surgery? Would they even test for that? and please, be serious… no fat, pothead jokes. Thanks.

I have tried to look it up and I getting almost every link but the one that tells you what you can and can’t eat and the number of meals per day. Does anyone know? I know with lap band it’s 2 oz per meal 6 times a day. List of the do’s and don’t s foods are to long to list, but point is I know about the lap band. I am asking about the gastric bypass.
Thanks for your help

I am 5′5 and about 230 lbs.
I have tried loosing weight by diet and exercise. But it hasn’t worked for me at all. I hate trying so hard to loose weight and not seeing any results. I am I over weight enough to consider gastric bypass surgery? Or do you have any other ideas to help me loose weight?

I went with my friend to her doctors after gastric bypass and he mentioned that in the short future that new drugs would be approved by the FDA that would make gastric bypass and banding obsolete. Does anyone know the names of these drugs?

I feel very certain this doctor knew what he was talking about since he specializes in those surgeries and did 2800 of them or so.

When I had my gastric bypass done in “2002″ I was told I had to have B12 shots every month. My doctor keeps testing my blood and says I don’t need it. So my question I guess is what is in the B12 Shots that I might be needing that he is overlooking?

Do they reduce the amount of food you would get if you had gastric bypass?

Does the GI Bill count against you when qualifying for WIC?

Can WIC provide Pedisure for toddlers?

I know a person who is a bulemic, morbidly obese, and trying to get approved for gastric bypass. This person is not being completely honest about eating habits with the doctor. I know I cannot control other people’s decisions…but the possible ramifications of this weigh on my heart, what to do?
