Looking for a sponsor



Recommended Posts

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. 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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
