I have been working towards losing enough weight to get my top surgery from a specific surgeon with many years of experience with it. I have successfully lost the weight, but now I'm at a point where I can't afford to get it. It costs about $8700 for it and that's without complications or revisions. Top surgery for me doesn't just mean gender affirmation. It means having an easier time breathing and reduced back pain. I desperately want this. So much so that it feels like a need. I just don't know what to do to get that much money with everything I already have to work for.

When I got mine 10 years ago it was around $7000. Saved up that much in a year by living out of my car. I wouldn't recommend that, especially in today's world, but there's always a path. Start a side hustle - get a 2nd job if you can, even doordash, or become a weekend Notary (low cost to entry, good payout). Get creative. You can grab this bull by the horns and make it happen!
