Thumbs up It's finally happened!

Well it's finally happened everyone. I came home from work on Wednesday this past week and had discovered I had been approved for the Gastric Bypass surgery. I received a phone call this morning and guess what? I've been scheduled for my surgery on April 14th...only a month away. I'm so excited but terrified at the same time and I know this nervousness will only get worse as the date gets closer. Many people have been emailing me from this website asking me to keep them updated cause I haven't been on here in a while so here ya go. ^_^

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.
