Looking for a bariatric surgeon in the Lake Mary/Longwood Florida area

Hi all! 

I had the Lap Band in 2010.  I had a HORRENDOUS surgeon in NJ who did a real butcher job, which resulted in a revision and then removal due to infection which left me in the hospital for 5 days with a blood infection. So, three years later I am ready tot try again. We recently moved to Florida and I have no idea who do go see other than the commercials I see. Having had  SUCH a bad experience I wanted to get some real input and reviews from people who have been there. I am about 35 minutes from Orlando if that helps. Any and all recommendations would be appreciated especially doctors NOT to see! 

Thanks so much and looking forward to starting this whole journey again! :)

Hi there!
I don't know about the Orlando/Central Florida area but I know about a great surgeon here in Jacksonville which is about an 1:30-2 hrs north up I-95 from where you are. Here is the information in case you're interested. Take care! -Larry
