My name is Mary Smith i am 52 years old and been over weight for most of my life as i get older its harder for me to do my house work i am Disabled due to four foot surgerys and back surgery and both hands carbo tunnel and i also have RSD =Reflex Sympathetic Dystropy syndrome which will put me in a wheel chair later in life i feel like that time is coming soon . I went to a weight loss seminar for the Lap-Band which my Insurance will cover this but the Doctors office wants 1,000 Dollars up front which i can't come up with i have been on diablity for these problems and only recive 675.00 a month to live on and its very hard i can't even buy for my children or my grandbabys when it comes to Birthdays or Christmas . What i am asking for is the money to pay for this 1,000 to get this lap-Band done the Goverment wants people like me to lose weight they should help us to get what we need to get our shelf started . Wouldn't it be cheapper in the long run if i could lose weight id be able to get rid of some of my meds i take . If i could start my life all over again id do it with watching my weight but it runs in my family would that even help ? So if you know of any way the Goverment had any fuddings for this help please let me know .
