I don't know anyone personally, that's had it done, but it would suprise me if the gov't paid for it. If you were able to have it deemed "medically necessary", there'd probably be a chance, but I'd imagine they would have to try a bunch of other things first. But what do I know? I mean they're the same people spending $500 on toilet seats!

Good luck with your lump removal and I wish you luck with whatever else they have you do.

I know two people personally that have it done... both were more than 100 lbs overweight as well. It is not a wonderful solution... my father is one of those people. He had it 20 years ago, and while medicine is more advanced... he's struggled for the past 20 years with gastro-intestinal problems directly resulted from the surgery as well as constantly trying to adjust to his "new" system. And as WI pointed out, I would be shocked if you can get it covered. Very few insurance companies are still covering it, even when medically necessary. I'd consider discussing options with a dietician or a personal trainer as maybe the exercise or diet aren't working for your body.

It's a very risky thing to do. Especially since your not really obese at all. Its very radical. I watched a show on the down side of this. I would do more research and maybe try new approaches.

I am in the same boat and am working very hard on it. I have days I would do that surgery in a heart beat. But it scares me too much still.

I know people who have had wonderful results and I know a woman who is dying of starvation due to complications and scar tissue from the same surgery. My personal opinion, because I too have considered it, is that I'm not willing to take the risk and I know that despite my many valliant efforts/failures there are still things I could do (or do better/longer/more intensely/with more conviction) that do not require surgery.

true... I know the government has excellent benefits... but typically the surgery is only covered with documented proof of medical necessity... high blood pressure, diabetes are examples that I'm familar with, as well as documented proof of attempts and failures to get those conditions under control with other methods. But you make a good point, I'm not really familiar with the benefits of the government, so I'll shush.
