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 hope soon you will be happy and that name will change! I know that there are a lot of hoops you have to jump through and freebird is still waiting for approval but I know it can be done.

Welcome Unhappy! Hope you are ready to leave the 'un' off your name soon. I'm still pre-op, but hoping to change may name soon, too. It sure fits how I feel right now, though. So glad you have joined us on the boards.

Yup, OHIP covers this, and it will cover your having it in the US as well. Freebird is from Ontario, and she's in the process of getting her date with a US surgeon, and her insurance is OHIP. I think there are a couple of other Canadians with OHIP, too.
Good luck on your search and journey, ((((((((HUGS))))))))
