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.

im sure there are some of us who are mosre worse off LOL but yes she clearly needs psych help which they dont even mention. so many times people think this is a cure all. i think she will be fine though. at least she takes out the old clothes every now and again for a reality check. we all need that.

thanks for posting this!

I find myself forgetting that I am not obese anymore. Just the other day I used the bathroom at a resturant and I just out of some many years of habit went into the handicapped stall, I sat on the throne and thought "What am I doing in here?? I can fit into the regular stalls now!! Hope there isnt a person out there waiting who reallly needs this stall!" I still panic when they seat us at a booth, but I fit in them now. I still feel really out of place not shopping in the plus sizes but going to the normal size area, I still feel very paranoid that other women are snickering at me for looking at normal sized clothes. These are all things that I will eventually get over though, I just lived the obese life for SO LONG that it will take some getting used to!

I found the video beautiful and frank.

As I approach surgery, I keep telling myself it will still be ME in MY SKIN, and I will definitely need help (either via y'all or a trained professional) from having too many koo-koo moments. It will be really strange to be a thin person in a body I have had for the last 22 years or so.

Hub said 60 minutes is scheduled to show a segment on WLS and the "unknown" benefits. I will look for the link and post it elsewhere.

I would say she has been overweight her entire life until now. Im one of those people myself. I really dont know if she will ever see herself smaller or not in her own mind. Yea you got a mirror to look in but I mean feel it inside.
