I must say that dealing with my pcp was one of the things that I was successful at. After a WLS seminar, I went to my pcp and simply told her that I wanted a referal to the seminar Dr. She couldn't really say anything but okay. She did express her concerns but I think my seriousness gave her no alternative but to okay it.

Dr. Elliot Mathias, Family Health Care Assoc., 330 Bridgeport Ave., Shelton
203-929-7331.
He is the one who pointed me in the direction of WLS after listening to me lament about all my failed dieting attempts. He was very supportive, wrote letters for me, gives me my B-12 shots, etc.
Compassionate man who listens but also is direct when you need to know the truth.
I don't know if he is taking patients but you can try.
Regards,
Bev

Secondling Dr. Kate's office. I see Dr. Zabrensky there,and she was very supportive and understanding of my decision to have lap band surgery. There are a number of new physicians in the practice for whom I can not speak, but any of the "old timers" are all wonderful.

My PCP isn't taking new patients - but he is awesome!
I'm not sure if my ob/gyn takes patients but he is 100% behind WLS and was thrilled with my decision to have the RNY GB - my ob/gyn is Dr. Richard Kates - who happens to be a specialist in PCOS - it is a large group of doctors they have offices in Hartford, Farmington and Glastonbury - don't know what all the other doctor's philosophies are - but Dr. Kates is wonderful - smart, personable and professional.

Good luck!
