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.

Thanks for the welcome! I am looking forward to getting to know everyone. I was really excited when they told me my insurance approved the surgery but now I am getting nervous. I have to have an open incision because the insurance would not pay for the laproscopic . I want this desperately but am so scared now.
