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.

Hmmm....still mice, though. Even though the researchers say, "hope to test on humans in the near future", I do wonder when the near future will be...and how long it will take to become marketable if ever. Sooo many chemicals with reported potentials disappear between now and then.
Much better to plod along on our own, than wait for that *miracle* drug.
