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.

Ya me too... I found a forum that my sister Sally is on, she had WLS in 2003, she lives in Conn. and the attitude there is strange, even tho she grew up here in Fargo, this forum has a different feeling about it.
Thanks for letting me be a part of this group.

Thumbs up

Love ya all

I am originally from the west coast actually...but feel more at home on the east coast...lol. I agree though that it is pretty easy after awhile to spot the fakes and the for real people. It is unfortunate that people feel like they have to behave that way. I hope that you're sticking around with us for the long haul...lol.

May I chime in and say that I stumbled onto this web site by accident, and I beleave it was meant to be that I took the time to check it out.
I do not know what I would have done not having all of you listening to my quirkies and hearing all of what is going on in your lives and knowing that I am not alone.
I want to thank you as well for letting me be a part of "our" own little world here.

You are where you should be Buckwheat., I hope you stay for a lllooonnnng time!!!!!

Keep well,

ROBBIN

I stumbled on this website by accident too....how funny. I was researching celebs having the surgery and one ad led to another for this site and I have been hooked ever since. I am so grateful I found it. I haven't bothered with any other wls websites since.

That is awesome that we all can be friends, even if it is virtually, and we can speak our minds about anything here and everyone is so honest and sincere here. I refuse to go back to that other place I used to hang out at since I found RR.

I also found this site accidently...don't even remember how but so glad I did. Like Chuppy, I have no support group here, where I live. My surgery was done 3 1/2 hrs. away.
Being so blessed that I found such a wonderful group of special people, I actually can get emotional thinking about the understanding, help and support here. It's great reading all the posts. It strengthens my resolve and many times sets me "straight". I really need you all. Thank you so much!
