Watch the show on foxtel "my 600 lb life" one specific doctor in the USA deals specifically with those around 400lb+ i think the heaviest he actually worked on was about 700lbs. he does bypass and sleeve for those patients no other surgeon would touch.

That's the first I've heard about any Medicare rebate. I'll have to make an appointment with the surgery and ask those specific questions.
I was told Medicare Will only pay if you meet the standard for public surgery not private.
I've still got 10 months wait as I've just started with PHI
Tnx

Hello there I'm from Australia I'm currently 320lbs and my ultimate goal would be 190lbs as i am tall and come from a family of big builds so 190 would be perfect. Here in Australia we can use health insurance to pay most of the surgery but I'll still be out of pocket $5000 but the catch is we must weight out 12 months before we get surgery i finally signed up for insurance 2 months ago so my surgery will be just after my 35th birthday 😀 and then should be able to lose the 130lbs within the following 10 months in time for my 36th birthday party.. I would just like to hear from others who are going through the operation Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass.
I've done tons of research and that's the surgery i want Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass the best for long term. I've heard that it makes it so you don't have much cravings and you don't absorb calories as much because of bypass and you have to live off Vitamins and such. I hope people can clarify things for me about all that stuff thank you!!!
