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.

MAYBE he will discover our site and be a member of our family!
THIS is a blessing for him if they can give him this surgery
to help his problem.
HE is in my prayers for a safe uncomplicated surgery!

I agree with you Lisa...maybe somehow we could take him in. I am sure that he can use all the prayers he can get on his behalf. I hope that the surgery is successful for him and that it isn't too complicated for his health.
