New to Atlanta area: need GB-aware PCP that takes BCBS of IL
Hey Y'all! I'm nearly 7 years post-op from my Roux-en-Y GB (Oct 20, 2000) and I've recently moved to the NE Atlanta area from (briefly San Diego) the Denver, CO area. I'm in Stone Mountain and I need to find a PCP (either GP or Internist, I do admit to a female bias -- they do own the same model as I happen to be -- but am not opposed to giving a truly good male MD a chance to convice me otherwise).
I've moved quite a few times since my GB, and each time I've drawn the "honor" of being my new PCP's first GB patient. Yup, each time was a learning experience for both of us.
Now that I need a new PCP again, I'd like to find one with a good track record in dealing with the staple post-op issues like anemia, muscle cramping when you're not doing anything, ongoing nutritional monitoring, post-op monitoring (staple site leakage that goes undiagnosed because one is unaccustomed to having that be a possibility can lead to some very nasty stuff!!) and you know the drill.
Can anyone recommend a good PCP? Particularly someone around the eastern side outside the Perimeter, say Norcross to Decatur? Thanks bunches!!!
