Guest guest Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 I need help from everybody out there. I have a friend who needs the surgery..he weighs over 400 lbs. He was a postman and now unable to do his job due to his knees. He has tried to doctors here in LExington, Ky. that will not do the gastric surgery because they said he did not pass the breathing test. Has anybody out there found a doctor that did the surgery even though you had a problem passing the breathing test? IF he were in an accident, the nurse told him he could breath well enough to be intubated, but the doctors here do not like to take any chances, so they make their standards high to keep their successful surgery rate high for business..understand what I mean? Can anybody help me with a name of a doctor that could help this man? Thanks!
