I pray he gets the help he needs. I hate to say this but I'm afraid his only real hope long term would be a DS. There are some excellent DS surgeons in California. I hope one of them can help him.

Great....going to see Dr. Phil....so he can tell him to diet and exercise. Yep, that will work wonders. Uh-huh. Can't stand Dr. Phil! He is not going to get the help he truly needs there.

He may not get the help he needs from dr. phil but he will get more exposure. So maybe a Dr. will do his surgery pro-bono. I hope and pray this all works out for him.
Plus maybe he can get some emotional help and/or counseling from dr. phil. Worth a shot.

Met my first goal, met my second goal, met my surgeons goal. Now I have a new goal!

With all the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Dr. l has, he should be offering to PAY for the surgery.

Its a very very long ways back from where he's at . But he MIGHT be willing to do the work . I hope someone helps him get the initial surgery so he feels it worthwhile to try . .
