Thirteen years ago, I had gastric bypass, I did really well and lost 137 pounds, kept if off for?

Maybe you can hold a benefit for yourself. People do it for kids who are suffering why can't it be done for an adult that is suffering. Otherwise, maybe you need to talk to Medicare and see what there procedure is for a medical necessary surgery.

If you point out that it isn't for vanity issues (because of trying to get the loose skin fixed) they might be more willing to help. I had a similiar issue where I had a bad scar on my midsection which I convinced the doctors was giving me issues. Therefore, I got a tummy tuck on the Army because of the medical necessity.

The other option... maybe you can find a talk show host that you can tell your story too. Once they hear the story, maybe they will pay for the procedure. Good luck!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
