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 just went through the same thing. I know how a ten min visit can push your date back 3 months. I would call everyday to see if I could get an earlier date to see the doctor appt. Somone has to cancel sometime soon. You gotta keep on these guys always.

Good Luck!

Darn! I would keep calling and checking on a cancellation too! All in all, you know you are going to be approved. It will get here, just hold on.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I'd do what everyone else says - call constantly and be so much of a pain that they give you an appointment to get you to stop calling, lol!!!
