Anyone know of any Dr's that may be able to help me? Thank You!!!

Also check in the Bariatric surgeons section of this site but Dr. Jawad and his staff are great. you'll find Dr. J's address and phone number in that section Hope this helps Dena T

Dena, I hope you will join us at the Leesburg Support Group some time. We meet on the 1st Wednesday night of the month at the Lake Square Mall Food Court at 7:00. If I can give you any more information, just let me know. Dr. Jawad did my surgery on Dec 7 and I have lost 68 lbs. He and his staff are wonderful. Hope to hear from you. Carol

I work for Drs. Kim and Marema in Celebration. Our info session is at 6:00PM every Wednesday night, and we have a Lap-Band specific one on the third Sunday of the month. 407-303-4504. HTH, Kristen

I am aware that you live in the Florida peninsula but my doctor who I have doing my RNY surgery this Tuesday is in Pensacola. He has done over 3,000 of them and has a fantastic record. He is well known with his collegues in this field. People come from surrounding states to have him do their surgeries. He and his office staff are wonderful and very friendly. Sorry, you might want his name huh???? Dr. David Nye. Give him a call. He is at the Bariatric Center at Baptist Hospital in Pensacola. God Bless and I hope that this helps. Kay Shaver

Hi Cheryl, my surgeon is also Dr. Jawad. He and his staff are wonderful. His new satelitte office in Orlando would be fairly close to you and he is worth the drive. My surgery was dec 7 and have lost 68 lbs. I hope you can find a doctor you are comfortable with and the best of luck to you. Carol

Several people will refer you to their docs - I as well - just check these out (Dr. Overcasah, Ocala (352) 368-2828) and see whom you click with. Good luck and keep us posted.
