Need to find a cooperative surgeon!

I live in Prince William County, Va. I have not lost all my wieght from my surgeries however I have a very large hanging pannus that is putting incredible pressure on my legs, causing chronic venous insuffiency, my legs to constantly fall asleep, driving is difficult as well as walking. The past few months it is getting very hard to breathe as this pressure pulls from the front of my body. Not to mention the difficulty of being able to clean properly, sleep well etc. I am hopeing to find a surgeon in my area that will do a panniculectomy on me even though I still have more wieght to lose. I know these things are graded and mine is problely the worse I have read about. I am 49 years old, have had two pregnancies, one which was twins, many surgeries etc. Do you have some advice for me or can you tell me a surgeon I could see in my area who will be understanding and compassionate. I will never be able to keep holding this up til I lose all this wieght. Thanks!
