Does anyone know of a surgeon who will do RYNY on a 14 year old?

A lady called me the other day asking about her 14-year-old having open RNY. She said she has been overweight all of her life. She has been on Meridia, has tried every diet like so many of us have. She is having some big health problems and the doctors have said it is all weight related. She was so excited about having this done and then found out that BTC won't do it unless you are 18. Her mom said she can't face another 4 years of being obese. Her parents are willing to pay for it for her if that is what it takes. We are in Michigan and it would be great if there was a surgeon in the state (with a good reputation) who will do this for her. Any ideas? I have told her that even if she has to travel to have it done, it will be worth it. Her daughter is very motivated, it isn't just the parents wanting it for her.
