I need a new PCP

I went to the doctor today because I wanted to go ver some of the stuff that I needed in order to have the surgery. She was so rude she almost brought me to tears. She knows I've been dieting and using weigh****chers online for almost 16 months. she was so not supportive and i don't know what to do. Do I switch pcps and start over or do i stick with her and hope it gets better? I even told her how she was making me feel. The lady who was in the room next door had the same experience. Ahhhh Help!

I'm thinking long term here - but one of the most important things you'll need after wls is a good supportive pcp. I say fire that lady and go find one who is willing to earn her fee by working FOR you and not against you!!!!  Best of wishes to you

Look up Dr Balogh- she is either in Canton or briarwood....

Is her first name Linda. I found a balough but it says pediatrics

Yes Linda- she sees adults too....

spelled balogh

Linda Balogh, MD - Internal Medicine 1051 N Canton Center Rd Canton, MI 48187 I think thats right Is she WLS friendly? Thank you for all your help. Will I be seeing  you tomorrow when I come for my consult?

Yes that is her..and no I wont be there :(  But tell Bill and Patti you know me :)  I am swamped with all the bariatric patients!!  Wish I could meet you.  She is VERY WLS friendly.

I am so sorry for your doctor's ignorance. My first doctor was like that. I ended up going to a new doctor in southfield. He is a dream come true. He has supported me all the way thru. I was reccomended to him from another bariatric patient of his who was a friend of the family. She is doing good. I say look for a new pcp. Just request your records from your current pcp to a new one and start fresh.

All of my medical stuff is handled by U of M docs (including my RNY) and I'm totally happy with all of them.  I haven't met anyone I didn't like yet.  Their office staff aint bad either
