Pro Bono Lap Band

Hey, I was told by my doctor that if I don't get this or gastric bypass that I was probably going to die. I went to the surgeon and I was told that my insurance wasn't going to cover it. Any of it. So, the surgeon said that he would give me a discount for it because I really need it, but it was still an astronomical amount. my husband is in school right now, and we're barely making it. What I was wondering is, I have heard of doctors doing these procedures pro bono. I don't know how to go about finding one though. I even asked if there were anymore clinical trials for this. If anyone has any information that could help me I would greatly appreciate it.
