Looking for new PCP

Can anyone in the Sacramento area give me some names of a few PCP who are familiar with WLS surgery patients?  Specifically DS, but any WLS is ok.  My PCP will not work, and I need to find a new one to build a relationship with who has experience with WLS.

Thank you

Hi there  Iam in Sac...We just got Kaiser, but were with Dr.Socolov for about 5yrs.  He is on Scripts drive, by Sac State...I actually never saw the doc, but used the P.A. named Barbara.  She was REALLY excited for me pursuing WLS.  She gave me all the orders for pre-op testing I needed, without question.  I gave her phamplets from Dr.Cirangle's office so she could educate the staff in her office. 
Iam just now wondering.... if asking the WLS surgeon's office if they know of a good PCP?  Do you have a surgeon already?
There are WLS support groups in the Sac area, maybe go to one, and pose your question?  Anything I can help with PM me
P.S....I just read "your story" on your profile...I too moved here from a small area, tho I did grow up in Sac...I don't like it here either....It has my DH's job, thats it...

I would ask the surgeon you want to use for a referral to a PCP, they know who will work best with you to get you approved.
