| Newbie |  New Here...Audra Just wanted to drop a line to say hi. I have not had surgery, but am considering it. My only problem is I am pretty sure my insurance will not cover it. So I have to find out how much it will cost and if any doctors in my area will take payments up to the procedure. I look forward to getting to know everyone here. Have a great day.  Audra |

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.  |
