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 can hardly believe it myself! I am glad that I asserted myself (asking my pcp for a referral) and was able to find another doctor willing to do the surgery.
