Okay... so here's where I am...

Jul 07, 2009

So it's been about a month after about 5 years of research in interest that I've been going full force on this WLS adventure.  I wanted to share some info and goings on! 

My insurance does NOT cover any type of WLS.  When I called the company to see why they did not include this in their coverage, I was told that because it's CO, and we're the healthiest stare in the country, there is no reason to have this coverage.  Wow, that really sucked!  So then I had to find out my options... I am in the process of bankruptcy, so I can't get a loan... so that was out.  I AM going to school FT and could use my financial aide as a possible source, but remember I have a lot of bills already and I can't afford to take out a large school loan... so... what is a girl to do?

I googled free WLS and came up with a clinicaltrial.gov website, and for a moment I was thinking it might actually work out... but alas, no studies willing to pay for the surgeries, just willing to pay you for the after care... which is nice... but not what I need.

Then I decided to work the angle of fund raising and and getting people interested to donate or help me have the surgery!  So that's where I am about now... trying to hustle my way through!:)  Never give up!
