General Doctor??

Hello Everyone-

I live in Durango, the southwest corner of our state, and I am just starting the bariatric surgery process.  One of the criteria is getting a doctor's approval, BUT.... the problem is that I do not have a doctor.  To tell you the truth... I have never found a doctor that has understood the complexity, difficulty, and emotionality of being morbidly obese.  Does anyone have recommedations for a compassionate doctor in my area?  I'm willing to travel a bit, if needed, in order to finally find a doctor who understands.  Thank you for your help.
