| Whipper Snapper |  New hope, I needed this I love this forum. I really didn't give this surgery serious thought until now. I just decided that my life is all about raising my kids and going to work. No other joys. Don't want to leave the house any more than necessary. Embarassed to run into people I know. Stopped riding my horses (something I loved greatly). Decided that getting out of bed and breathing every day was enough. What a crappy outlook huh? I have now decided that I am going to get serious about this surgery and put things in motion. I think my kids and husband would appreciate it also, I know that I would be easier to live with if I was happier inside. I also really miss team penning, I used to be quite a cowgirl. You have made me realize that my life isn't over, Thank you for that.  |

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.  |
