Need PCP

:help: My surgeon was Dr. Nestor De La Cruz Munoz in Miaim but I live in Orlando. The drives back and forth are killing me. Eventually I want to find a PCP who has worked with bariatric patients and also a surgone down here (If I need one) (DO I actually need a surgeon as well since I've already had the surgery?) Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

Hello, Yes, you need to align yourself with a surgical practice, IMHO. If Celebration isn't too far for you, Dr. Richard Bransdorf is "bariatric-friendly" and knowledgeable. US Bariatric Orlando is also in Celebration - Drs. Keith Kim and Robert Marema (also RoseMarie Toussaint). I am a patient (first) and also a staff member at USB. Phone is 407-303-4504. We can give you Dr. Bransdorf's contact info if you call, too. HTH, Kristen

my PCP is in lake mary and is great. He has a good understanding of WLS and is willing to listen to all my concerns. good luck

Here is the website of the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons....you can surgeon their membership and find a surgeon in your area who is willing to follow other surgeon's patients. Just look under code FOLL for follow. http://www.asbs.org/html/about/membersearch2.html Sarah
