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.

my surgeon didnt really have a harsh protcal as others and the reason is he has his patients loose 10 percent of their body weight which does the same thing as the liquids pre op diets......reduces the liver size to make lap surgery safer.

I only had to go on liquids once i had drank the bowl prep drink the night before. SO for me I didnt have to and thats cause i was looseing weight pre op....

just feel out what your surgeon will have you do. I totally believe in the preop weight loss my surgeon sets fourth as if i he didnt have me do that i would have gained easily another 10 to 20 lbs in that poor me last supper syndrome of eating. HE is a strong believer that this reduces complications from the surgery and made me a big believer as well.

Well, I guess I should consider myself to be a lucky person. My surgeon just had me stop eating the usual 12 hours before my surgery. SO THAT IS WHAT I DID. I ate myself silly in the 11th hour. HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL. GOOD LUCK TO YA!

FREEDOM, alot of surgeons offer support groups to help
patients? I know mine has you attend his information seminar
and a support meeting before you even come in and meet him.
SUPPORT is a key to staying on track!
HOPE you find a group or people in your area!
