Is it Possible to Root Verizon S3 without losing the data on it? I was able to do it on other phones and would like to root my S3 but dont want to go through reinstalling everything again.

Not for the JB build yet (as far as I know) If you were on ICS you could still use the DebugFS method and not lose data..... But as far as I know they haven't got that working with JB
