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.

That was a really informative article! Nice to see one that is just 'how it is' instead offering any opinions!

I have been having days wondering if I should really do this (and surgery is in 2 days!) but then I read articles like this and it reassures me of my decision. How many things in life have 95% "approval rating" if you will? Well, if it improves quality of life in that many people I am all for it- I have a great life and I look forward to it being even better....lighter!
