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!

Interesting article. One should have realistic expectation. Surgery is not a quick as you said its a tool, the first step towards your goal. To make it successful one should follow doctor's instructions, do regular exercise, and must be committed to lifelong changes in eating habits. Everything is in our hands we can make the surgery successful if we make little change in our lifestyle. thanks for sharing the article.
