One of the happier moments in your weight loss surgery journey is when you get the seal of approval from your insurance company. Most insurance companies realize the long-term effects and cost savings associated with the weight loss that occurs after patients have weight loss surgery.

Your knee pain has gotten so bad that it’s keeping you from doing many of the things you enjoy. You can’t kneel to work in your flower beds or stoop to play catch with your grandkids. And forget walking the back nine of your favorite golf course, you can barely make it through the front nine. Arthritis medication isn’t doing the trick anymore and your doctor is recommending total knee replacement.
