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.

Each insurance entity has it's own requirements. Some a specific percentage, some require monitoring from your primary. Your surgeon can do the calling for you, they are pretty well versed with what most require and will make the calls for you if they do not.
