Financial talk

Am 28 and 5ft 5ins. i weigh 265lbs. Am scared of my weight. 've been battling it all my life, so many failed diets, exercises, and finally my doctor just told me I should consider the gastric lap band. Am a student and dont have no family, i guess that's where my depression's coming from,just can't stop eating. The thing is, am trying to save for the surgery now but for how long? It's a lot of money. Can someone give me some advice of means of getting money please? Thanks for answering. i mean i lost both my parents yrs ago in an accident. the other relatives i have aren't that close, can't help. my insurance wouldn't pay for it. I've had failed diets and lots more i guess my story 's just too complicated. am depressed, and it makes me eat ,
