Hi--go to wlsbutterflyfoundation.org--don't know what the criteria are, or how long the wait, but maybe they can help. I hope so. Take care, Suzi

Have you tried vocational rehabilitation? I had my surgery through them almost 6 weeks ago. You must meet financial criteria and your weight must complicate your job or your ability to obtain employment...good luck Amy -38 pds and 22 1/2 inches
