Sounds like an easy process? I'm curious about ASHFORD. I'm looking at RNY BYPASS on the website says $4000 is that the only costs or did you have to pay for Dietician or anything else? 40kgs in 3 months? That's amazing how long was pre-op diet?? I'm leaning towards Ashford as they have their own GP and seems like easy process. I have BMI of 42 plus other co morbidities. I don't want to have to jump through hoops

Weird Stuff That Delayed Your Surgery Approval
Yeah we have access To Medicare if we meet certain criteria and willing to wait a few years on public list we could get free surgery but have to jump through hoops so it's easier for me to get private insurance to get surgery in 12 months

Weird Stuff That Delayed Your Surgery Approval
Feel sorry for you guys in America I've been told I only need one dietitian appointment before seeing the surgeon and I only got insurance for this surgery. In Australia we have public Medicare but that doesn't cover WLS it covers most everything else I've never paid for a GP in my life.

Need Advice Please read and give input!!!
Don't think of surgery just as weight loss. It's also the to change your whole metabolism and reset your body as well as make sure you have long term success. Losing weight isn't that hard. There's no magic. 7 years ago when everything in my life was great I lost 90lbs in 6 months all on my own. No surgery. I changed my diet drastically and went to the gym 7 days a week. My life was so different after weight loss. People were nicer. Girls actually gave me attention. But of course life happens and I've put it all back on plus 20lbs. So after a lot of research and self reflection I've decided RNY BYPASS is the only way forward. Not only to help maintain weight loss but too help me live longer with no health issues!! If you have the chance take it

VITAMIN HELP RNY
I've just started on cenovis multi vitamins even before in ready for surgery just to try them out. Most people do mention calcium citrate and B12 and multivitamins but I guess it depends on the individual person. I know the RNY means you are unable to absorb much vitamins or calories so the vitamins are life time commitment but small price to pay for a new life and extended life.
