Looking for options and advice

I have Anthem Healthkeepers through my job but they do not cover any obesity surgery. I have been to a seminar and called a local surgeons office. The visit is over $230 and the surgery is quoted at $15,000. I am currently considering CareCredit, GoFundMe, a WLSFA grant, or charity care through the hospital. I do have a BMI of 65 and several Co-morbidities. Any suggestions or advice about what kind of next steps to take would be appreciated. Thank you!

Another option is possibly going to Mexico for surgery. It's typically about $5000 plus travel expenses. The only thing I would caution is that not all surgeons deal with higher bmis, so you would need to mindful of that and ask the right questions.
