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.

Kenya - you're too funny! I was looking for one of those molded, padded types last night but they didnt work too well for me. B4 WLS I was spilling over my DD, I'm still spilling but it's like liquid- odd looking to say the least!!! I'm totally not comfy in this skin! I did try on a bathing suit with a cute low slung skirt and was surprised that it was decent looking - certainly more so than last year. I'm trying to decide between a skirt type and a tank or tankini with jams. I also thought about a nice, strapless bra under a suit??? the one I tried on last nite would work, but I didnt care for the print on the material. I don't think the skirts are young enough looking for what I want. I think I'll go looking online for swimsuits.....

i cannot wear a bra without underwire. all types of weird slippage occurs or my boobs just end up looking weird by the 18th hour im somewhat particular. i found some nice ones at walmart pre-op; dirt cheap too but OF COURSE they dont fit. i think some of the ones i bought right before i went in for surgery still have tags on them...DOH!

i am gonna have to go to victoria's secret...which i have been trying to avoid...being that i am so cheap! LOL!

GIRL......I know what you mean!!!!!!!! I need bras bad. Walmart's selection is sucky. I tried Target and Kmart, but found the same thing. Even Jcpenny didn't have anything comfortable. I am going to take trip up to the Hanes, Bali and Leggs outlet store and see if I have any luck. When you find something let me know.

'just my size' on line has a nice variety, not expensive either. Just don't know if they have regular sizes (that's you Kenya) or just plus sizes. Give a look. Plus Size Apparel from JMS !!
