deesleevednowbypassed 15 Posted February 5, 2015 I was sleeved in 2012, hiatal hernia repair on 2014 and bypassed 2 weeks ago. My insurance only covered my skin removal from my stomach but won't cover anything else. I get rashes that feel like my skin is cut all the time. I have to wear support things in order to wear nice clothes. Since my weight loss journey. I've gotten a lot of irritation. Need to get skin removed and reconstructed... Every little $1 will help. I will appreciate all your help. Please help me. I'm in a lot of pain.. gofundme.com/sleevedandbypassed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stevehud 1,790 Posted February 5, 2015 Ill be honest, this really isnt the place to ask for money. Many many of us are in debt over our surgeries anyway. We also have to find creative ways to fund our own plastic surgery. Secondly, you dont have a profile set up, no name, no whereabouts, no pictures, no email surgery dates, surgeon, nothing , so as far as we know you dont really exist as a WLS patient. Even your go fund me page has no name or contact information. The picture on your go fund me page looks great but it shows no skin issues. I would suggest talking with various plastic surgeons in your area, they do much work at cost or for free to needy people on a regular basis, also you can lok into contact the WLSFA ( Weight Loss Surgery Foundation of America, they give grants for WLS and for Plastic surgery as a resultof WLS. They help a lot of people every year. Your doctor can read about it below. at http://www.wlsfa.org/looking-for-help/faq-about-our-grant-referral-program/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deniselk 6 Posted February 6, 2015 Stevehud, thank you for your reply I read this yesterday and immediately RED flags went up. This may be a legitimate request but it smells like a scam for free money. I apologize if I am wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
