High BMI in CA - know any surgeons?

I am actually having surgery on 7/17, but I told my aunt I would research this more for her. She is quite large (I don't even know her actual BMI - but I assume she is over 60) My doctor does not perform surgery on patients with a bmi over 60. She is 5'5 and weighs at least 400 pounds (if not more). She has medicare/medical and would probably benefit more from someone who can do a panni and the surgery at the same time (If there is anyone who does that here in Calif.) Can anyone help? She is very depressed and does not have a good quality of life. I don't think she would care if this was open or lap - she just needs help.
