HI
Its certain that you are excited about yours sons senior trip. I cant see a reason why cant you opt for an operative alternative, since i guess u must have tried all medical therapy for weight reduction like Diet control, Medication and lifestyle modification. I guess its time for a surgical therapy like Gastric bypass surgery, Diversion surgeries or laparoscopic surgeries for banding the stomach.The post operative time for weight reduction is around 3 months and the average weight loss would be around 50% of your excess weight.Hope you have ample time to recover from the surgical procedure to attend to the trip, surgery will be of sure help. I hope this solves your quarries. For any further help please feel free to ask.
Thanking you
Dr Samir
