Heya Peggy.
There's a center in SanFran...One of the best in the nation! They do WLS on people of all ages, younger teens as well.

Try Dr. Edward Phillips in Beverly Hills (Cedar Sinai)... He was willing to operate on me at 17 (although I ended up waiting). Its a maturity thing with him. Its a case by case basis. He is also one of the best in the nation.
