A lot of hospitals have a private pay option that will do bariatric surgery at a reduced cost. You might call some of the hospitals and ask. They may also be able to refer you to a surgeon. You also need to meet certain criteria to have the surgery. You should see your primary care doctor and he/she can write a letter of referral to the surgeon. Your doctor may know of a surgeon in the area. Mona

You might want to see if you qualify for medicaid. http://www.cms.hhs.gov/medicaid/state.asp?state=NC Best wishes, Sid
