Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Good luck honey. I have Tricare and they have to respond within 36 hours. If you have met all the criteria they ask to be done you should be approved right away. If not they will tell you what you need to have done before they approve. Good Luck and let us know.

Good luck hon! I'm a Military wife as well and Tricare approved me, so I'm thinking positive thoughts for you as well.

Yes Amina... guilty.. i called thrusday.. ty all so much for the best wishes..
at least I can depend on support from you guys.
My husband and I right now are at each other.. due to the fact that he has been go so much in the three years we have been married, and though i dont think of my son as a mistake but i really think me having him while he was gone is just tearing us apart.. and now this RNY.. he isn't happy about it..
neither is my family

he wants me to be healthy.. but im not built like him.. he thinks of excersize and loses weight.. i sweat at the gym, have asthma attacks on the eliptical three times a week ( which is a feat itself getting tothe gym now between full time school and full time mom).. i would rather be sleeping then the gym..
but im killing myself and im not losing a thing.. i actually gained.. and i dont think it was muscle..

not to mention that im on a low fat/low cholest diet and have been since before my pregnancy.. i cant do anything more.. i just can't get it off.. and he doesn't understand how frustated it am..
sigh..
we just keep digging the hole deeper it seems lately. i really dont know how much longer i can keep being married if we go on like this ..

and he says he is supportive of the school but i feel like that im making him unhappy all the time.. i just dont get it..
i feel like i have this.. miasma of just doom and gloom around me and its infecting all my relationships.. exept for me and my son..
i love that little man more and more everyday.. he terrifies me with his daredevil acts but he is so damn cute you just want to squeeze him to death..
he is my only reason lately for the jumping through the hoops and the deathly boring waits..
