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.

Well, I went home my second day of medifast and it was the holidays, so every night for 4 nights I had another family function to attend. And evrywhere I went I heard 'but you can cheat a little!' (as a statement, not a question). I just kept saying 'NO I CAN"T!!!' I know me, if I cheat once - it's over. So I didn't. I just had to keep thinking that the next time I visit I will be able to eat all this stuff (well, most of it, and in tiny amounts). And since I had yet to lose any weight, the next time they see me they won't recognize me! I'll say 'see I didn't cheat and it was worth it!'
You can do it!

I Agree With Greens Girl , Just Have Your Mind Set I've Been Cheating A Little And Gained 2 Lbs But I Decided Not To Cheat Anymore Because Today I Tried On A Pair Of Size 18 Jeans That I Had From 5 Yrs Ago That I Couldn't Fit This Summer I Couldn't Get Them Over My Hips And Low And Behold They Fit Today That Felt Realy Good I'm Already Down From A Size 22 That I Was Busting Out Of

I coped with the family thing by staying busy. We have little kids around which always keeps us busy and they were glad to let me keep an eye on them and play with them (or referee, or whatever...) I was at a stage where I could eat some, but I just avoided the food area as much as I could. Take some stuff to keep busy - a book, craft, something to do with your hands - cross stitching?

Hi everyone!!
I'm back from "home" & did very well!!!
Thank you allfor your insight..
Kept busy, sent mom for groceries, sister cooked, etc..
Hey, almost a VACATION~!!!!
My family needed to taste my shake of course, cause after staring at me while I "enjoyed" it they thought they were missing out on something wonderful..
Anyhow, thanks again,
