pro bono cases?

My husband has lost about 200 pounds. I was wondering how do you go about pro-bono cases. He is very self- consceince about his excess skin. I feel bad that he has worked that hard, and still feel like he cant take his shirt off at the beach. We just had a baby and both are students and cant afford much.
Thank you,
Jessica

Surgical treatment for massive weight loss is not trivial.  Just the expenses of hospitalization, nursing staff, surgical suite, medication and anesthesia care can be quite large.  Further, these procedures are not often done in just one surgical session, but may require multiple surgeries.  It is unlikely that any facility will offer these services at no cost, to say nothing of the sweat, tears and liability of any surgeon and surgical assistants willing to participate.  Your best bet would be a university teaching center, but do not expect the procedure to be free of costs.
