Weight Loss Sugery Grants or some one who can help?

Hi Every one,
Probably a crazy question but,I figured I would ask.Is there any place for some one who don't have money to get some sort of grant if possible.Of course I would be having this is Mexico.I have to have a revision to boot because of a failed gastric bypass years ago.If any one can help with these questions,please let me know.Thanks for reading this.

You must have thought of this already, but if your insurance paid for a gastric bypass that failed, surely it would pay for a revision as well?

Otherwise, no there is no such thing as a grant.  There are however, ways to finance the surgery and make payments.

Wouldn't it be great if you COULD get grants for WLS?  *wistful sigh*

Hi there,
The surgery was 25 years ago and things were different but,thank you for your reply:)

If you search in the internet sometimes you see studies for WLS. They tell you what they cover, you may be able to find something. Each country/state has different studies. Not too long ago I think there was a study being done in Baltimore.

ETA:
try this site:

When I was researching I remember there were several on this site that would pay the VSG unfortunately they were not in my area.

Hi,

I met these people at the recent Obesity Help conference. They help people that can't afford weight loss surgery. Maybe they can help you:
