Yes, I am lazy..... I know I could search.
I think there is a doc here who does the DS. Anyone know about him?
Here's the deal, I have a dear friend who more than anything else, needs a DS. She has limited mobility because she needs two knee replacements. And she can't get the knees because she weighs too much. A lose/lose situation. She also has sleep apnea.
Anyway, I hope I can buy a DS for her so I am particularly interested in finding out how much this doc charges for self pay. I know my friend well, she has kids and a limited support system and she won't be able to travel far.
I'm planning on using some of Dan's money. He also knew her well and would approve of me spending it for her.
Thanks everyone!

I believe you're thinking of Dr. Stewart. Everyone here seems to love him.

Depending on her size (BMI <60?), the coehospital@yahoo.com deal might be an affordable option.
Unless travel is out of the question.

Dr Stewart is the *only* option in DFW, in my opinion. There is another who does the surgery but only has a little over a year of experience.
Dr Stewart does all his surgeries lap and is just phenomenal! She's local to this area? If she is on board and you move ahead with this, shoot me a PM and I can invite her to our DFW DS support group. We're quirky--in a good way.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr Stewart even though I traveled from NW New Mexico. I paid it forward and a lady from my town was self-pay with him also I want to say she spent roughly 21,000. I do know he has prices on his website though. On the OtHer board you can find Hamilbr (Brenda) she had a lot of weight to loss and also needed knee surgery. Please try and PM her if you can.

My wife, ragamuffinb, and I both did self-pay with Dr. Stewart. He has an excellent reputation and surgical stats. We've both exceeded our goals and are loving life!
