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.

I am up right now because of my legs. I'm very tired but cannot relax to fall asleep. I've always suffered but now seems to be a little worse then before surgery.

Good luck with yours. If you find anything to help them please let me know.

Did you have a sleep study? I keep remembering them asking me about restless leg and did I experience it. I didn't think so..and I did not. But, they monitor that
during the study. Your doc should be able to give you some info.

I still have it. Fortunately for me the RLS starts in the evening right around bed time and it's my signal to go to bed and get some sleep. I'm able to fall asleep and it doesn't wake me up.
