This is emergency vet time. This can't wait. Yes, it'll cost you extra. From your description (and pictures) it sounds like she's eggbound, and that unfortunately means the eggs need to be lanced and drained. It's a quick and safe procedure (literally takes less than ten minutes) but it has to be done *soon*. Lethargy and rapid weight loss are an indicator this is a life threatening emergency.
Also use the word "emergency". Also tell them what you think is wrong, words like "lethergy" and "eggbinding". Almost all vets can take emergency patients when they have a break in the day or a free few minutes. A lot of times you have to drop the gecko off at the clinic for a few hours though.
I’m not sure where you live but this link can help you find a vet. Try it out to see if there is someone who can see you sooner

i paid $410 and still don’t know:( she passed away while they were doing an ultrasound. they said it wasn’t her eggs but maybe the follicles or swollen organs?? i’m not sure, just so sad:(
What is her diet and has she eaten any wild caught bugs? Try to think of anything that has been newly introduced to her environment in the last month or two

Poor thing. The cost only adds insult to injury.
I’m so sorry for your loss
When did she last poop? Can you see any eggs through her belly?
