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.

I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield Federal employee program as well. My paperwork was faxed on a late Tuesday afternoon and the following Monday morning bright and early I got "THE" phone call from the surgeon's office. Hopefully, you'll hear back just as fast or faster. Good luck!!!!!
