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 had this issue as well and being a woman of color there isnt much out there aside from vaseline. i found a "creamy" vaseline. Its like a thick lotion, that soothed it for me. the store brands work just as well. its called "creamy petroleum jelly" you can also find this isn the baby aisle. it isnt greasy like vaseline but it is definitely heavier than lotion. if you find something else let me know.

Another good thing to try is body butters from bath and body works. They are really good. I also use very thick lotions with shea butter. I use shower gel with shea butter too. It really seems to help.

eucerine has a lotion and a petroleum product which is high priced vaseline. my skin issues let up after a while on its own, but i notice it when i do dishes and that the cold weather is a lot harder on my skin now. i guess that might have something to do with the dryness...
