Hi my my name is ranelle I am a mother to two kids 11&14 and a wife. I am the type of person that hates asking for help of any kind unless I have another way. I am swallowing my pride and going to ask for help. Here is my story. I need to have a gastric bypass surgery to be able to improve my health to afford surgery.my right knee has digestive disck dieses and dissolveing away and becoming very week I have went two different orthopedic surgeon to see what too with my knee and I need a knee replacement but can't get one til I'm 50  but my knee won't last that long.i have had two knee surgery's on it already since 2011. I also have a very messed up spine from a domestic relations where I broke there verabs they healed wrong and both my knee and back cause me a lot of pain.both my doctor  and orthopedic have told me I need the gastric bypass to relieve the pain and pressure and slow down the damage.I have tried diets,pills , exercises, I can loss up to 20 pounds and can't loose any more weight then that I have gone to physically therapy done pain shots pain meds chiropractor massage nothing works. Last option is get the gastric bypass to take my weight off and try to help slow down the process of all this pain and help live longer to better myself and my family and be able to do this with my kids .I am having to go to Mexico to get this done since my doctor can not find a hospital or doctor that will do it here in Washington with my insurance. Mexico covers transport from San Diego California airport to surgery site and back to air port three days after surgery visit after surgery meds for 4,700 I will have to cover cost from Moses lake WA to San Diego California and back from San Diego California to Moses lake WA. My husband can go with me but will need help covering my kids care I will have to drive down to San Diego California or take a bus down because don't have the star card to fly so will need gas food hotel covered . If you can please find it in your heart to help me on this very sensitive tough journey I would really appreciate it.
