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.  |

| Super Moderator  | Welcome to the board, thank you for joining us. The first thing to do is to be honest with yourself. The surgery route is going to be as much a mental trip as a physical one, and what in the end works is your determination, and your efforts in making healthy choices with food, and in adapting healthy life styles. Do a lot of search and research. Do not depend on other people's opinions nor advice. Form your own opinions, the answers you find must, in the end, come from yourself, not others. YOU are the only one who can decide what to do for yourself. (((((((HUGS))))))) May your weight loss journey go well, whatever, however you decide.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | You need to find out everything you can about all your choices. You dont really give us an idea of what you are considering. Are you thinking about surgery or planning a non-surgical route? Either way, I think you should consult a doctor to help guide you and give you medical advise. This website is a wonderful resource for emotional support. Good luck.

| Welcome! If there were one "best" weight loss treatment there wouldn't be so many available...or so many overweight people because we'd all be doing it! The best option is different for each person when you take their health, how much they have to lose, their financial situation, etc. all into consideration. Good luck!
