Hello, My son age 36 and over 350 lbs. has seen the Vertical Sleeve procedure and has seriously decided to have the surgery. He has no insurance so I will help support his efforts. He is selling his cherished red Corvette to finance this surgery. He has tried everything and really wants to do this. He is considering a Doctor at Tulane in New Orleans. Does anyone know a doctor in OHIO. Like at Cleveland Clinic or Ohio State. He wants to do outpatient and that is a worry. He likes to drink, have a beer or three on the week-ends -can he do this - he fights the hunger hormone and thinks he can give up the food --why can't he just try eating only 4 oz. of food every two hours --I really worry about what if it doesn't work and he goes back to eating more than the small amount? It is the Mom intuition I guess --can anyone lessen my fears? He is a very smart person, successful in sales, overall around great guy, except for his weight. Can anyone give me a better perspective on this? Thank you so much. Momma Barb
