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.

Interesting article.... my sister has BCBS of Illinois and they have rejected her 2 x's but she is still fighting it... but it seems that each BCBS in each state has its own set of rules .. it even quotes a BCBS perosn in this article..I think the insurance companies knowit pays for itself but like insurance companies they save the almight dollar..
