Please Help Me- Las Vegas
Hello all
My name is Paige Reiff, and I have been trying to get the surgery for the last 2 years. Finally my insurance company said they will pay 50%, which is wonderful, but I need to come up with the rest.
I have 2 sisters who have had this surgery ( in California ) as a matter of fact one of them had a body lift as well. They have both done so well. I am thrilled for them. I want this surgery more then anything, I want to finally feel healthy, and get the respect and opportunity I deserve. I am 35 years old, I have been heavy my whole life. I take care of my parents, my dad just turned 75 yesterday, and my mother is 65. My father had a stroke in April, so my days can be trying, and my mother is very heavy as well, she can hardly walk.
I need help rasing the money. Can all of us band together and help each other, we need to create a database of people who need financial help, and if everyone donates $1.00, $5.00, or what ever they can..we can all get a second chance at life..
Please let me know if you can help me.. I need all the donations I can get.
Thank you so much for listening

DEAR PAIGE: I READ YOUR POST, AND MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU! HAVE YOU TALKED TO THE SURGEON,S OFFICE ABOUT SETTING UP A PAYMENT PLAN POST OP? I WOULD THINK THEY'D WORK WITH YOU, SINCE THEY'D BE GETTING 50% UP FRONT. WOULD YOU POSSIBLY QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID? I KNOW IT DOES PAY FOR WLS SOMETIMES. ALSO, WHAT ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF TAKING OUT A LOAN? JUST SOME IDEAS. I WONDER IF THERE'S ANY OTHER FUNDING OUT THERE THAT A PERSON COULD LOCATE? MAYBE IF SOMEONE ELSE OUT THERE READS THIS, THEY'LL KNOW OF SOMETHING. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU,HANG IN THERE! DEEANN R.
