WHAT I COULD DO IF I DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE? MY INSURANCE HAS RAN OUT!!!

I HAVE BEEN OVER WEIGHT ALL MY LIFE. NOW I FIND IT HARD TO DO EVERY DAY LIVING THINGS. I CAN NOT WALK IN STORES MUST USE WHEELCHAIRS. I HAVE TWO GRANDKIDS WHO I WOULD LOVE TO WALK TO SCHOOL. I DO NOT WANT TO BE SKINNY JUST WANT TO BE HEALTHY. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO WALK WITHOUT FEELING LIKE I AM NEAR DEATH. MY BACK HURTS FROM CARRING SO MUCH WEIGHT. I AM 5'7 455 POUNDS. I HAD CARESOUCRE FOR A YEAR DUE TO BREAST CANCER 4-29-09. NOW THAT IT'S BEHIND ME, I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A NORMAL LIFE. MY SON JUST GRADUATED GOING TO GRADUATION WAS SO HARD ON ME JUST TO WALK THE HALLS TO MY SEAT. EVERY WHERE I GO I MOST THINK HOW FAR I WILL HAVE TO WALK. I WOULD TO GO TO MARC'S DISCOUNT BUT NO WHEELCHAIRS. I WOULD LOVED TO BE ABLE TO WALK THE MALL WITH FRIENDS/SON BUT I CAN NOT. AT 39 YRS OLD I FEEL MY LIFE HAS ALREADY ENDED. DEPRESSION EVERY DAY. NO SELF-ESTEEM. I HATE LOOKIN IN THE MIRROR. JUST PUT CLOTHES ON & GO. A MIRROR WILL MAKE ME REALLY BREAK DOWN. I DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT THIS FAR. BEING OVER WEIGHT CAN BE SO VERY LONELY. I JUST WISH I COULD FIND A DOCTOR THAT HAS SPECIAL FINACING. I'M FINDING SO FAR THIS SURGERY WILL RUN AT LEAST $50,000. THAT IS JUST NOT IN MY PRICE RANGE. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I HAVE FAIR CREDIT. PLEASE HELP ME TO FIND STEPS TO RESEARCH ON HOW TO AFFORD THIS SURGERY.
