my daughter want to die because she is overweight,wants to have by pass surgery{363} lbs. but no ins
is their any way she can get the surgery?
Your doctor would have to somehow convince your insurance company that this is "Lifesaving surgery" which most insurance companies will not go along with - so even if you had insurance - it would be a battle in most cases.
Your only possibility is to take out a loan or finance the surgery which some surgeons will accept. Understand that unless she gets enormous psychological support before and after surgery and longterm followup - the success rate is not great.

I am sure that if you all have a primary care physician, he/she can answer any questions you all may have. I think she needs discipline. I am 27 years old and I was over 400. I went on this 3-day heart diet and lost 62 lbs. in 3-4 months.

Hi.
I would encourage you (or your daughter, depending on her age) to visit www.carecredit.com. You may be able to finance her surgery there. You can take up to 7 years (maybe longer, I don't quite recall), for smaller payments. You can also pay within 18 months, for zero percent interest. Those with less-than-perfect credit have been able to obtain financing. I believe your surgeon has to have "signed on" with them, so if he/she isn't on their list, that can be done. Good luck. I'm a firm believer in the saying, "Where there's a will, there's a way."
Blessings,
Mary
