Docs in Orlando area?
Dear Tanya,
I am in a similar situation. I'm having the roux-en-y on 9/1 and planning on going to Florida for the winter in mid October. I am also looking for a bariatric surgeon to see in case I need followup care. I want to find a Dr. affiliated with a Center of Excellence.
Can you please let me know if you have any luck?
I saw a dietician last year who had been involved with a Bariatric Center in Florida for many years. I think I'll also call her and see if she knows someone.

Dr Kim at Florida Hospital Celebration - is a Center of Excellence. It is a little ways from Winter Park (it's down closer to Disney) - but I do know he sees folks who didn't have WLS with him (which I understand can be an issue with some surgeons).
He's a nice guy - he also attends as many of the regular support groups (2nd Wednesday of every month) as he can - they're right after the info session. It's a great way to ask questions directly of him without having to have a formal consult.
