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.

Congrats on your decision to have lap band....

You might enjoy reading this website - he is a lap band specialist and has all kinds of information on it including some videos and a couple of books you can get which are excellent! (Dr Terry Simpson, a WLS surgeon for 30 years now!)

Weight loss doctor - Lap-band surgery seminar - Bariatric surgeon in Phoenix Arizona (AZ)
I became very impressed with him when I went to one of his seminars and several nurses who had taken care of his patients, were signing up for WLS!

I did not have lap band but I did have a restriction only procedure--the vertical sleeve gastrectomy. So, some of our issues will be similar.

Hi all! I am planning LapBand very soon. Have finished the 6 mo. preliminary period that is required by my insurance. I go on the 15th to my last Nutritionist visit and then I will be planning my surgery. I am very excited and scared at the same time. I need all your words of wisdom and encouragment. I know this is a huge step and the start of a new way of life. I am ready. I sick and tired of being sick and tired!! I wanna live life !!!

Linda
