Alice W., are you there?
Hi Traci~~I can't e-mail from here either--having problems posting to surgery pages too!!
I am so sorry....I do not know of any hospitals or Drs who would do WLS at a reduced cost or free. Below is the link for the ny state health dept. Maybe you could start there and make some phone calls.
Traci---There are lots of people here and I know that someone can give you some great suggestions!! NEVER ever give up!!
Is there ANYONE else here who can help
