Traveling to Orlando/Davenport/Kissimmee area
I hope someone can provide me with the name of a hospital with an emergency room knowledgeable of lapbands. I live in Michigan but have a 2nd home in FL. Have had the band for nearly 3 years and need to know which hospital where they are very knowledgeable about the band...to go to in case I need an unfill or care. I live in Champions Gate (near Davenport) but somewhat know my way around parts of Kissimmee and Orlando. Maybe I need the name of a doctor also..one who has LOTS of experience with the BAND...
Can you help this "snowbird" be ready for an emergency? I've noticed often when I travel by air my band tightens. When I return home to Michigan, I have to go to my doctor for air to be removed.
Dr. Kim at Celebration Health does band surgery so I am sure they are familiar with the band. Celebration Health is in Kissimmee near Disney so it would probably be very close for you. http://www.celebrationhealth.com/services/index.asp
