Question:
I'm reloctating to Sarasota, FL. Can anyone recommed a Physician and a Support Group

I am 6 weeks VBG post-op. I am relocating to Sarasota FL on November 1st. I need to find a Physician (Family practise, Internist, Gastroenterologist) and I would like to find a support group to connect with. I truly do not know what type of a physician to select, as my family physician, following my VBG surgery. Thanks very much for your support and advice. John    — John F. L.

Hi John.... currently, the closest support group is at Tampa General Hospital on the last Tuesdays of the month. Several of us from Bradenton have discussed getting together informally once a month in Manatee/Sarasota area in addition to the above meeting. See ya!!!

Hi John, I live in St. Petersburg, FL. There are several doctors in the area. Here is my e-mail address: [email protected] There is also a support group that does meet every month at my home. You are welcome to come. I will be setting the date for the next support group within the next week. Hope to hear from you. Sincerely, Paula Diviney
