Does anyone know of an online bariatric support group for Orlando?

I'd like to discuss physicians in the Orlando area that perform bariatric surgery.

www.obesityhelp.com

I used to live on this website before my surgery. It's nice because there is a section where people review doctors so you can really do a lot of research. I'm pretty sure there are regional message boards too. I had my surgery 3 years ago so it might have changed some since then, but even at that time the california board was pretty popular, I'm sure florida has a popular one too. Good luck!

Try this general support website: ObesityHelp.com.
There is a chat room and often people are from the Florida area and might be able to help.

This site http://www.obesityresolved.com/ tells about the lap band surgery which is the type of surgery I had. I have lost 90 pounds and kept it off for three years.
