hi, it's me again. i'm going to fight and get my surgery even though i'm not covered. i read on the thread about this attorney walter (sorry, i've forgotten his last name) and his team who i may ask for assistance if my doctor's letters won't help. what i'd like to know if anyone on the forum can recommend a surgeon/surgeons here in houston, texas who does this type of surgery and the hospital/hospitals they work. as you can see this is weighing heavy on my heart and i think it maybe a possiblity of a ray of hope that if i do what needs to be done, i might be able to get the procedure. thank you

He's Walter Lindstrom and it's Obesity Law and Advocacy Center for his law practice.

I'm sorry, but I can't help much with a good surgeon in the Houston area. One place to start is looking at the board here, or check out obesityhelp.com and look for surgeons in your area. The ones that show up with stars next to their name have paid to be on OH, but even those without stars usually have patient reviews somewhere on the site. Do a search for the names once you have some (remember to click to search on OH, not in Web).
