| Newbie |  Hi everyone! Hi! I am new to this site. I had my weight loss surgery 11-29-06. So far I have lost 50lbs. It hasn't been easy but I am coping. I was having a lot of trouble eating and throwing up. But, that has improved a lot. I have periods of depression which I'm not sure if that is a result of the surgery or not. I am looking for guidelines, experiences, and support from people who have gone thru this surgery. I have joined a gym which is something I never felt comfortable doing until now. I hope everyone has a good day. |

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.  |
