Hi My name is annette. I have just started the process of going through the weight loss program to have the ghastric bypass. I am to the point where I have to meet the surgeon next. Am nervous about the surgery but know this is what I need. I have several friends who have been through this already.Two have had good results one was not so good.Any suggestions are welcomed.

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.

Hi there Im Vickie. Welcome to the boards. The only thing I would suggest is making sure you know every thing you can about your surgeon. Its what I call the best medicine.
