Hi, i'm 17 ,5'1 and I weigh about 240lbs.
I would like to get gastric bypass surgery
but I need help finding a doctor in
arkansas who will perform this surgery on
teens.I know I am eligable for the
surgery.I have a bmi over over 40.I don't
want to do this for popularity reasons or
anything like that . I want to do this
for myself, for my heath. I know this
consists of many risks but I also know
that it can help to prevent the risks that
I may face as an obese adult. If you
could help me out in finding a doctor in
arkansas that will perform this surgery on
me I would be so very thankfull.Please
e-mail me any information u have.
Thank
you-

i believe you want to do this for other
than popularity. I have been looking
into it also and i'm having trouble
finding insurance to cover it. I am 29
my bmi is 49.4. I am a wife and mother of
two. I understand the limitations of
being obese. I am 5'2" 275 lbs. I have
battled my weight all my life. Hopefully
you won't have too. Good luck hun!
