If you aren't apposed to Mexico, you might be able to get financing for those doctors even with not so good/non-exsistant credit. I don't know that for sure, but if Mexico isn't something you are against, that might also be worth looking into.

I think that some schools might have insurance plans. If he's a full time student he could check that out. There are financing agencies that can help, but I don't know of any specific insurance companies for you. Good luck

Update!! Tuesday the 14th i had my seminar with dr throop over in evansville! Things went great! I know all the info..so it was a bit boring but oh well.

ok this is what you guys should do... atleast once a day take a twenty minute walk... just go ten minutes and turn right back around. eventually you will be able to go further and further. you intertwine this with eating about 6 small meals (and by small i mean like 4-6 oz all togather of good healthy food) and also try and drink atleast 72oz of water a day with no caffine or carbonated drinks. if you try this (i dont mean do it for a week and quit, im talking about a good effort, atleast a month) then i promise you that youll see the results that youre looking for. ive been at it for almost four months and ive lost near, give or take a few pounds, 100 pounds. later

I am doing my weight loss the old fashioned way with diet and exercise. I bought the Curves book. I HIGHLY suggest your friend purchase it. It has a wonderful diet (I hate the connotations that word has become) with recipes, and even shopping lists in it. The reason I suggest it though is that it has the Curves workout that can be simulated at home. I can't recommend Curves enough. My mom has lost 40 lbs and is about 10 lbs from her goal now. My step dad has lost 20 lbs doing the diet and just walking. I have lost almost 20 lbs now just doing the diet. I started walking a mile in the morning and evening. The rain prevented that though. I will be starting up again. Here is what I do: Morning 1 mile fast paced jog will intermittment hills Lift 2 lbs weights (arm toning) for five minutes per each arm Do as many crunches as possible (I started with 15, and add 2 every day) Evening 1 mile walk Crunches Pilates/Stretches/Breathing Exercises
