HELP!

I will soon be moving from Maine to Englewood, FL...... Can someone point me in the direction of a good Bariatric Center and Support group in that area? I had Lap RNY in May of 04' and have been at goal for about 8 months, have lost 118 lbs and gone from a size 22 to a 4. I'm really looking forward to the move, but a little worried about finding a good Bariatric Doc and support group. Thanks for any help Julie

Wish I could help, but you're about 85 miles south of Tampa and that's a bit far for you to come to Ocala to join our group. I'm sure you'll find what you need, though. Jan 240/126/115 (at goal size)

I am a pre-op so I have no direct knowledge of surgeons in the area. However, you might call the surgeon listed below. He is the closest surgeon listed in the ASBS database. The next closest are all in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area. Bear in mind there may be other surgeons this is just the closest that is listed on the ASBS website and there is always the chance my geography is screwy too. Red Mark A. Liberman MD FACS Surgeries Peformed:LGBP LB GBP LAP Naples FL USA 239-348-4123 I looked Dr. Liberman up and he is associated with the Cleveland Clinic http://sck.clevelandclinic.org/florida/physicians/physicians.asp?location=naples&department=68

Thanks for the link...... I'll check it out!
