It will depend on your insurance. My insurance requires that I have doctor

supervised weight loss. But one thing I would think about, is trying to lose

weight through WW or some program. You might be successful at it and you won't

know until you try. I would be very careful making this surgery your first try.

This is life changing and should not be entered into lightly. From all the

research I have done this is definitely not the easy way out. If you choose to

do this surgery you have come to the right place. These people are awesome and

can answer just about any question you have.

Hi, My name is Joe, and I have recently started my quest to have

gastric bypass surgery. I am 5'8 " , and weigh 360ish. I have a BMI

of 54.7.

Since I have never really done a weight loss program

(Weightwatchers, etc), will I be made to try that first. Or will they

accept me as a patient in need of a drastic intervention since I

am 200 lbs over weight, with diabetes II, sleep apnea, and gout?

I need your help....
