Yes make those calls especially to the big hospitals but also consider the support you actually could get from a go fund me page. It takes a lot of courage and humility and you will probably be surprised at who steps up to help you and support your desire to take charge of your health. You could even say this could be structured as a loan if you want but if you are willing to go to any lengths I am sure there are people who love you and want to help!! Good luck!!

One more option, there is a card called CARE CREDIT that you can apply for. It covers anything medical. Heck, my little dog needed knee surgery and I used this card. I bought my contacts with it. So it is very versatile. Never give up something will come up. When you decide to persue this further have your Surgeon's office turn in all of the information because they do this all of the time so they know what insureances want and need. So sorry this is happening hang in there.

Thanks!! I guess it's just the embarrassment of feeling like I can't loose the weight on my own and need a proc dure like this.. people might think I'm just a binge eater and lazy and might not want to help... I guess I just need to trust God i believe my problem was allowing discouragement to overpower me when I know God can open a door for me ... i just need faith and a few works to experience his promises to my life thank you all again

I know -- I have had Shame my whole life w my weight and how critical my parents and other people were as well. But w weight everyone can see it. Can't hide. But also know there is a a lot of support out there. I also suggest asking on some other discusssions to find People from your state etc and also you are obviously a person of faith. I have been a member of Overeaters Anonymous for many years and it has helped me a lot. It def saved my life when I first started. It's a 12 step program like AA but for food. I just had my sleeve on July 31st and dont see why both things can't worjk together at once !! Good luck!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
