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.

Now that is a great wow, I know exactly what you mean by not touching your toes and now you can. I also could not touch my toes and had a very hard time getting my socks on, my husband had to put on my socks many times for me. Being I was so heavy I a lot of times did not wear socks and just went into my shoes barefooted. Then I made sure that I had shoes that I could just slip into them. Once we can do those little things again it is a huge wow for us becasue when a person who has never had a weight problem take things like that for granted, they do not think twice of something like that. But when your heavy and can do those things again we will never take things like that for granted they are a huge wow for us. I even noticed it myself that I do things that I could not do before, without even thinking about it. I have one such thing, is that when I peeled potatoes or just something small that takes standing beside the counter, I had to sit for everything that I did to make a meal when I was 373. Now I peel potatoes and do lots more standing by the counter I do not even think of sitting on the table to do it, it is like it gets to be a natural thing when a person losses alot of weight and not even thinking about it. My sister even noticed it that I can stand a long time by the counter and do things and other things she noticed that I did not even realize it myself. So every little thing that you can do now and not before are huge wows and you keep them coming. Congrads on your big wow!!!!
