Most bariatric surgeons have them. Just call the ones near you.
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
There are 2 I know of in Birmingham. They are on the weekend so it would be drivable albeit a long drive. I go the the one at St Vincent's East. Trinity has one as well. I know Cullman has at least one Bariatric surgeon. They probably have one at the hospital. I am sure Huntsville would have one too.
