Lissa 2,631 Posted September 19, 2012 No one has mentioned this yet. Try checking with the Obesity Action Coalition. They do a scholarship once or twice a year where they pay for someone's weight loss surgery. Several of the doctors in my area do something similar in conjunction with their hospitals. Check those out and maybe one of them will choose you as their scholarship person. It means your journey would have to be very public, but that may be a good thing as it will give you some social interaction, too! Good luck! My heart is bleeding for you because I have a lot of the same family history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dooter 1,457 Posted September 19, 2012 You have sooo much life ahead of you. Beg, borrow, go to Mexico, whatever you have to do, but I swear this surgery was one of the best things I've ever done for myself. Use the resources these people are suggesting. Never give up. Tap anyone you can til you get to 5 grand and go south!! Call the local news media and tell them you're having a bake sale to raise money for weight loss surgery! ANYTHING!! Put up a big sign- "GARAGE SALE- ALL PROCEEDs GO TO MY WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY" Maybe people would just make donations! Just spitballing here......... this would be so awesome for you to get your life back and enjoy it! Godspeed dear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
