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.

Hey, Jerry, ((((((HUGS))))))))
We've got a number of newbies who are researching the surgery, or going through consults with no dates yet.
I don't have the names off hand right now, but if you go through the index of Your Profiles and check out the threads by newbies, I think you'll see a few.
The waiting's hard, but All's Well That Ends Well.
Hang in there.

Hang in there Jerry. I do remember going thru my jounrey and it did seem like forever before I even got close to getting a surgery date. ITs hard and it seems like it will never come. Now I look back and say, wow it did happen. So hang in there and your time will be here before you know it. The waiting to get to the big day is the longest part.

Ah Jerry, I know it is hard. But you know any other time it seems time passes so fast. Try to stay busy and I can tell you don't spend your time thinking "I am going to eat all I want because I won't be able to soon." I did that last year thinking my surgery would be early this year and gained 20 lbs. Not good. I did lose again before the surgery but that was so stupid of me. AND patience is a virtue. Many of us don't have it. I told my grandson who is 10 yesterday that patience is a virtue. He said Mimi ( what he calls me) I don't have patience and I am not sure I if have virtue either. What is virtue anyway? Made me laugh. May make you laugh too or at least smile big. Hang in there. We are all here for you. Mattie

Jerry,
I'm still here on the bench with you. I just don't post alot because I'm on dial-up which is horrible!!!!! And MsVickie's here and there are some newbies who will be sitting on this bench soon.
Hang in there Jer. I started trying to get this surgery back in March and here it is August with no date yet. Look back and see how far you've come and realize how fast that time went. Your date will get here just as quickly.
