Help!!!! Sponsor needed to cover cost for surgeries

I am a 36 year old who has had life threating medical conditions.  I decided to make a lifestyle change.  I gave up my career as a restaurant owner.  I am to proud to say that I have successfully lost over 200 lbs own my without surgery.  Well in results I have alot of excess skin left behind.  It is causing me to have rashes, back & abdominal pain, leg pain and it also awfull to look at.  I worked so hard to look like this, what a shame.  My insurance will not cover the procedures to correct my body. They said that it is all considered cosmetic. Well my question is there anyone, such as surgeons that would be willing to sponsor me and help pay or cover the cost to have the medical procedures done?

Please this is a cry out for help!!!

You should and need to as soon as possible consult with your family doctor about this.  Post an ad!  Post an ad online.  Craig's list is free.  You don't have to give your name.  Send out letters to plastic surgeons in the area and NOT in the area.  Explain your situation.  You can make payments.  Make arrangements with them.  Many of them will work with you.  Especially under the circumstances.  I applaud you on your success!!!   This is awesome!  Don't give up!  Take that next step!  You may find more success!

I know your feeling. I ended up having my weight loss surgery in Mexico a couple of years ago to lose weight because my insurance in the US would not cover it. I think by the end of this year I will be going back to do a body lift or some other cosmetic procedure to remove the excess skin. Try talking to a company named MedPath Group its who I went through and everything went perfectly. I doubt you will find anyone to give you the surgery you want for free. But try writing into your local news station and maybe they will cover your story and a surgeon will see it and want part of that publicity? OR maybe write some local surgeons tell them your story and promise to promote them til the end of time if they give you an amazing discount.


Good luck
