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 sure would do it again in a heartbeat, the surgery has changed my life so much. I am a much healthier and happier person today because of the surgery. For so many years I had to wear fat cloths and they did not look that nice even though people always told me that I always dressed nice for being as heavy as I was. Now I can wear much prettier cloths and I think they look good on me. The things I can do now are just so amazing to me and to my family. My family has seen me go down hill for many years and they see a much more active person and a much more healthy & happy person today. My family is just as thrilled as I am about my weight loss. I have always had great support from family and friends and of course from these wonderful people on this board. As my saying goes, Isn't Life Grand!!!!!!!!!!

In a heartbeat!!! Glad I didn't do it 4 years ago when I first thought about it though, I wasn't comfortable with the hospital or surgeon I was working with. Plus those 4 years of waiting gave me more documentation to get my insurance request authorized.
