Dr. JK Champion of Atlanta, GA, is one of the leading surgeons in laparascopic bariatric surgery. He has performed lap surgery on patients weighing 400-500 lbs. (perhaps more) in the past, but I would imagine that he would need to see you in consultation before making a final determination. His web site is www.drchampion.com. He's marvelous! Good luck!
