Weight Loss Surgery

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Amy and I am fundraising for my life. I am 35 years old and morbidly obese. I have been trying to lose weight longer than I can even remember. I have tried every diet and weight loss program out there and exercise regularly. I have been working with a personal trainer and nutritionist for months and the numbers on the scale have barely budged. I have a wonderful husband, Justin, and an amazing 12 year old son, Radley. I need this weight loss surgery not only for myself, but for them. I am afraid without this surgery I will not be around to see my son grow up. Due to a back injury that has been nearly impossible to recover from due to my weight, I have not been able to work for almost two years. My husband does a wonderful job at supporting our family but we cannot afford health insurance for myself. It is very hard for me to ask other people to help me financially, but I am fighting for my life. I have found a facility here in Missouri that offer bariatric surgery for uninsured for around 10,000 dollars, so every dollar donated would go directly to my surgery. I know people look at me and think I am just a fat slob, but if they only knew the real me. I am a full time student pursuing a degree in accounting and I try to eat healthy and exercise on a daily basis. Any help you can give would mean the absolute world to me.
