Is there any programs out there that help with the cost of gastric byp or lap-band surgery?

I need to loose wait! Please dont tell me about diets or other things, its not that I appreciate the advice or help I am just really in need and I do know there is more to it than a quick fix surgery, I just have never been even lean Ive always been overweight and I have a bad thyroid and take meds for it. I also have rumitoid arthritis and so its very painful for me to do serious exercise, although I do have 4 kids 11, 9, 3, 1 1/2 that keep me on my toes but it doesnt help and I am afraid I may have a heart-attack otherwise.
