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.

Its perfectly normal to feel anxious and no this is not a stupid question. I wondered about it before i started my journey. my surgeon didnt take any pics at all. They measured my waist, thighs and upper arms and weighed me but that was it. and every follow up visit they take the measurements in the same areas. no pics though. i invested in a digital camera. someone here suggested it to me so i could see the changes. and i snap a picture or two every week or so and it is amazing. you really do see the difference more in pics.

Good luck on your journey!

Don't stress. They don't make you get naked!!!! LOL. My surgeon did take a before and an after at 6 months. I know each dr does things differently. I would urge you to have before photos taken. I really helps the mind as you are loosing the weight.

Hey Jerry this is way far from being a stupid question! my Surgeon didn't! I guess he had enough of seeing nude ugly bodies hehehe!

I took my before semi-naked pictures and I always look at them, in fact I showed them to the plastic surgeon the other day his jaw dropped down to the floor hehehe. Every time I look at this before picture I feel so terrible and sorry about the long years I spent in my life looking like that!!!

Ehhh I wish if the health technology of WLS's has reached my country long time ago! I would have lived "happily ever after" ages ago!

I also take monthly progress pictures on my anniversary's opss you know I forgot the 13th month pictures! I should do it next 6/18! thanks for reminding me

Happy losing
Hanadi

Jerry mine does too. I am preop but was told when it comes time for surgery they'll take the pics and like Jeane at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. I also have follow ups for 5 years after surgery. They want to make sure I am succeeding. I love my bariatric clinic they rock
