I had a vertical banding bariatric surgery in 1998. Now I have scar tissue that is closing my stomach outlet.

My insurance has an erisa clause and will not help me. If I don't have surgery to fix it I could die if it closes the rest of the way. I've been restricted to only liquid diet. I'm scared no one will help me the surgeon I saw wants $25,000 prepay to help me any further. Any advice?
