Looking for a sponsor

Hi, I am new to this site and many others. I am trying to look for a sponsor, someone who can point me in the right directions, support me, and help me with questions. I am currently 5'2" and 330 lbs that's a bmi of almost 61... I have tried many diets and have always been the big girl. I have been more than ready to rid of my weight and become an active healthy person, but my weight is holding me back from being active and I am left with surgery. I have even started a gofundme for my surgery because my state doesn't allow weight loss surgery be covered by insurance https://www.gofundme.com/medical-surgery-2w33jxez

    If you can't get it paid through your insurance, you may want to consider going to Mexico for it. There are a lot of reputable surgeons and facilities there, and your out of pocket will be FAR cheaper

If you can't get it paid through your insurance, you may want to consider going to Mexico for it. There are a lot of reputable surgeons and facilities there, and your out of pocket will be FAR cheaper. Look into it, because it's better than dropping $30,000 on it. You will probably find it difficult to raise money through a GoFundMe or similar crowdfunding type of site, but you'd have a better shot at finding $5,000 or so than you would $30k.

It sounds like you're ready to get this done, so best of luck to you!
