Grant

Hello,I just wanted to let people know about the wlsfa(weightloss surgery foundation association).Its a great foundation where different surgeons,hospitals,anesthesiologists,and sponsors donate money to help people that cant afford to have their surgery, or testing, postop excess skin,etc.Its a great foundation.I urge anyone to go to wlsfa.org to check it out for yourself. I myself have just got approval for a grant for the sleeve.After four years of appeals,letters,phone calls,emotional ups and downs,I finally have a chance to experience the thought of preparing for my surgery.I cant wait!

So happy for you!

I found it while searching for PA information on Medicare.

It's a one in a million shot that I will be the one to get the grant, but it's worth a try.

I have a medically documented need for removal of excess thigh skin, but doctors are refusing to file for prior authorization with my Medicare Complete (Secure Horizons) insurance through United Health Care.

I need to complete what wil be major surgery, before continuing with my Voc-Rehab program to get off disability.  I'm studying to become a Registered Dietitian, specializing in pre and post-op bariatric nutrition.  I also have lupus and fibromyalgia, and my former occupation is not compatible with those conditions.  Too physical.
