Topic: Looking for a surgeon in the Orlando area

Hi all. Relocated about 2 years ago and am looking to have the sleeve done after a botched and removed lap band. When I look on this site there are no bariatric surgeons nearby. Does anyone know of anyone who is in the Orlando area? I did find one name - Dr. Beltre - but can't find him on this site anywhere. 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated! The lap band was a terrible experience for me (I know everyone has a different experience ...my surgeon for the band was TERRIBLE>..) so I am really leery of even investigating this option again but nothing else seems to be working and I'm at the end of my rope. 

 

Thanks all

Christine

Topic: RE: MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!

Hello everyone.  I did some research and I have found some information for those on Medicaid Share of Cost in South Florida.  Jackson Memorial North (Miami) and JFK Hospital (Lake Worth) accept Medicaid share of cost.  I talked with someone at both locations today.  They were very nice over the phone too.  I have an appointment at JFK.
