I have great news for all of the many readers of My Obesity Connection on HealthCentral who write us asking if there is a free gastric bypass surgery. Yes, Virginia, there is a free weight-loss surgery!

I will pray for you. You are not alone. I am in the same boat. I weigh 435 lbs. and my insurance company does not cover any type of weight loss surgery. I am wondering how much longer I can continue working as I am barely able to walk because of the toll that the extra weight is taking on my joints.
