God Bless!!!!

I don't know if you have insurance or not, or if you have a job or not but it might be worth it to investigate insurance programs and take a job that has the type of insurance you need.  My insurance covered my surgery 100% including all labs and tests.  I have Health Net.

I have thought of that and have applied but never chosen.. I have been trying to get a job at the hospital...

I was so fortunate in this respect. I work for a health care corporation so my sleeve was also covered 100% The only thing I payed for was a $10 copay for my sleep study. The best I can suggest is to find a job at a hospital, most times in healthcare we carry some of the best insurance, and go from there.

or shoot move to NY and apply for Medicaid ( I can't BELEIVE I just said that) but NYS medicaid covers pretty much everything.

I don't have any small children so I can't get medicaid in Michigan I have tried.  So weird they will give you food but they wont help with medical is that not crazy or what?

Put up a donation jar at the local supermarket?  Collect cans for recycling?

There are also medical loans you can get and then pay it back like a normal loan.

Also look at surgeons in Mexico....they charge a fraction of the cost and many of them (do your research) are as good or better than surgeons here.

Good Idea I thought of doing that but people don't really feel sorry for fat people;;;;

Realistically, you are in a bad spot.  Insurance, self-pay or a loan are going to be the main avenues for getting the surgery.  In any of those cases, having a job seems necessary.  I'm not aware of anyone doing the surgery for free, which is sort of what you sound like you are looking for?

no James I am not looking for a free surgery I am looking for a way to raise the money to get it done I am a dreamer but I am not by any means stupid I at the present time do not have my job because I live in Michigan and many jobs have left and I am struggleing finacially right  now but I have always worked hard and I will be back on the work scene again but i figured if anyone could give me some positive input or Ideas maybe they have thought of something I haven't. 

Thanks for the post anyway
