What is involved getting weight loss surgery? My health is getting worse. I have talked to my dr about my weight gain for years and all she says is diet and exercise and as I been seeing her i have crept on another 30 lbs I am fat as ever now and I have tried all diets and now my knees are in pain. She refuses to even entertain the idea of the Weight loss surgery. I am in portland oregon and on I am on the providence personal option. I need a new dr or something. Because I will be 300lbs before long and my dr. will still just say diet and exercise. Hell if it was that easy I%26#039;d been done already!! this has been going on three years! I HAVE CUT out all sugar; deep friend foods%26gt; she took a thyroid test and it was normal. My family has all been obese I am fight against all odds here and its been very depressing. any serious ideas ? Please don%26#039;t beat your drum about diet and exercise and furits and veggies I heard it all and tried it all. How do I get to the steps to have the surgery?

  • During surgery, a big part of your stomach is bypassed, making it harder for you to take in food in large quantities.
    Basically, you can only eat much smaller portions.
    Eating is a natural addiction and it is easy to tell somebody to diet, but very, very hard to do so. This surgery has helped and improved the life on millions.
    Depends, what healthcare you have, they may pay for it.
    Go, change Doctors, go to ten, if you have to. They are suppose to provide service for you. Good luck. 0% 0 Votes
