Hey guys, so I have been overweight ever since I can remember, I barely heared last year of the existence of all these surgeries that can change morbid obesity patients.. I went to a weight loss doctor in Texas and begun my procedure and had to quit half ways.. due to financial stress. it's so frustrating being this way, I'm facing so much depression due to my weight I feel like a human mistake sometimes, I have no money nor good credit to get my surgery, I definitely do not want to post a gofundme page in my Facebook page to have everyone make fun of me... I do not feel good about myself , dieting and excersizing has lead me to loose 10 pounds all year it's ridiculous how bad my metabolism works... I Guess my question is there an charity or somewhere private that a obese person like myself can get a sponser or someone to help.. I seriously can't even sleep anymore if I not get help I am proboblyguess I my live long .. I feel like a big failure I'm ready to give up. I really need the duodenal surgery

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.

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!!

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!!
