His life is depending on having that weight off ASAP..I had RNY 16 months ago (330+ lbs./136 lbs. now) and I am supportive for all weightloss surgeries that better someone's health.Thanks again!!!

You should try posting this in the "Texas" area, I'm sure you'd get lots of answers there!

This should be the link :

I recently went to a seminar by Doc Spiegel. His cash price is $15K and only now does them in Houston.

If your friend has any health problems I would suggest staying away from Dr. Spiegel. He wouldn't operate on my 480lb father (lives in Beaumont) with the problems he had. He ended up going to UT Physicians, Dr. Eric Wilson (he did mine too) and we're very pleased. It's in Houston but in my opinion, worth the trip!!!
