Can anyone recommend a good PCP doctor in the Tampa Bay area who is obesity surgery friendly? So far, our PCP has not been very helpful in regards to my husband's wish to have surgery. We have Aetna HMO insurance. Thanks for your help!

Melody, I could recommend one but unfortuantely I am in Bradenton so it would be a bit of a drive. Let me know if you feel like traveling. Elaine

Don't know any in Tampa, go to the Aetna.com...or ask the bariatric surgury centers, they may know some. I was afraid my PCP would be against it, I asked her about it a year ago and she referred me to a nutritionest. So when I went to her a few days ago she was all for it...I was shocked..I expected a fight. Good Luck
