I'm new and have many questions about this surgery... I honestly don't have any riches or anything... I don't even have insurance... is there anything anyone could give me advice on what to do? I really need this I've killed myself working out eating healthy nothing is working for me I'm diabetic... I just want to be healthy but I feel as if the odds are always against me if anyone can give me any advice I'd appreciate it very much.

There is a self pay Mexico sub forum here just go to forums and scroll down you can't miss it there are like a bazillion people that go there.

Go see a nutritionist or dietician to help you with a diabetic meal plan...do everything you can to do it on your own. Only get wls as a LAST resort - wls is not a guarantee that you will be healthy afterward.

Best of luck to you!

There's certain things preventing me from going to Mexico unfortunately. .. and the WLS is my last resort I've tried everything... I'm still working out and still eating healthy... this is why I've turned to this surgery, you see my sister got this surgery and its made her very happy and I've been big my whole life so I'm not going to lie and say its not to look thinner but my main problem is my health which is why I'm in this predicament.

Saw this site in another thread. They provide grants to assist with surgery. Perhaps you can give them a try.
