|  I Got It.... Yea... I went to see my PCP and he gave mye the referral I need to have my surgery. I'm soooo excited. I have been on the net most of the day looking for a great surgeon and I can't find one in my area. There are 2 but they only do the lapband. Any suggestions? I'm in the Olympia, WA area, Thanks ~ Cindy ~

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.  |
