Default my family
as most of the members on here, i've been struggling with my weight for years. when i started thinking about the bypass, i told my parents thinking i would be doing it alone, i thought that they would be against it. Well to my surprise, they support me 100% and mom even said that i qualify for it, because there is diabetes in the family, and i have knee problems and the weight is causing me to not be able to walk far. my friends are supportative also which is great, my neighbours however are not supportative but in the end, its my decision and i'm gonna do it

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, if mom & dad say "go for it", the Jones' next door are just gonna have to keep up with you!! You've got the right attitude. You're doing it for you, not to please someone on the other side of the rose bushes!!

Just know that your family here backs you, too!!

I say you have to do what is right for you! It is you who has to live inside your body and deal with the day to day issues of being obese. I had a lot of support from my mom and husband but the extended family has been awful and come to find out the two that have been the worst are jealous.

Not to repeat what everyone has already said...but THIS is for you and either people love you and want you around forever...or they can just go! Hahaha.

But seriously you do need to do what is right for you to be healthy and live longer...if you are ready for this then you know you have ALL of our support...we are kind of like a little family here!

Do what you need to do for your health. Glad your parents are behind you. Neighbors don't matter anyway.
