Question Hello from SWFL!

Hi everyone.
I am new to the boards here... I am so glad I found this site! I have recently decided to look in to WLS, particularly gastric bypass. I am doing research- the good and bad... I am wondering about surgeons... I have contacted the office of Dr. Thomas Bass. Does anyone have any feedback on him? Or perhaps can you suggest another surgeon? I am going to see my primary care physician this week and I am going to ask if he can refer me to anyone as well. Thanks!!

What part of Florida are you from? I live in the Orlando area, and my WL doctor is Dr. Jawad in Ocala.......To me he is the best. Check out his web site.

Bariatric Surgery | Weight Loss Surgery | Florida | Orlando

I think you would really like him.....

Hi! =) I appreciate your responses! I am in the Ft. Myers area... Unless I am missing something it doesnt look like there are a lot of bariatric surgeons in this area... In fact the only one I found has his primary practice in Hollywood, and only comes over here a few times a month...
