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.

Thumbs up

First couple of days, there was some regret, but I was an emotional wreck. And trying to get used to the new eating was a little tough, but here now, right at 3 weeks out, no, NO regrets.

Absolutely NO regrets! I am 3 months out and have lost 59% of my excess weight! I love every minute of it. If someone said I have to do it again I would be 1st in line!!!!

In the very beginning I thought OH MY GOSH what have I done, but I don't regret it at all, like PW I wish I had done it sooner but I also think things happen when they are supposed to so this was just my time.

There are a few on here who've had some complications including myself. I will be honest and say that it's been rough but I don't regret for one second having wsl. All except like PW... I regret not doing it sooner!

I'm being honest and won't sugar coat that there can be complications as there can be with any surgery. But remember that they are not very common. Even through all the bumps in the road I've tried to remain positive with the exception of a few meltdowns that people have supported me through.

MY husband and myself had the surgery and both have done very well and had no problems at all. We both have had all of our comobitities resolved and had no issues at all so we are very glad we did this for ourselves and could not be happier we are like two teenagers and are madly in love with each other and life. Best of luck to you on your journey.

I have posted a few before and after pictures for inspiration
