My friend had signed up for bariatric surgery and they rejected her because she "ate too much" and because "diets failed". I believe most diets don't really work, and that those clinic who agreed to help her was supposed to help her find support in the diet areas.Refer her to support groups who could help her stay the course. My friend lives in :Pekin Illinois and wants to know if she can get legal advise to deal with this clinics unfair discrimination . Where could we get help legal wise?
