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 agree that you can have a food addiction but I also believe that part of the overweight problem in the country today is the stuff we eat. So much soy and preservatives and antibiotics in the meat and lets not even talk about fast food. And I don't even mean the drive through, I consider the stuff you get that you pop in the oven to be fast food to and I think a lot of people don't realize that. We carb load on crap and just get more and more hungry. I found this out when I was doing body building. I never realized just how bad the frozen stuff was too till I ate really well and then at that crap and it made me sick every time. Most things in life are double edged knife.
