Primary care and WLS

I am in Syracuse, NY are and I am wondering if anyone has had a positive experience with a local primary care provider when addressing weight loss issues. That is to say someone not opposed or generally dismisive of  people seeking weight loss surgery. I don't have one right now... I'm a Nurse Practitioner myself and I have to admit MD's, NP's, PA's,Nurses, etc. are just the worst when it comes to following up on our own care. I work in psychiatry and I've found that many of my obese patients have had a hard time convincing primary care to take their 50+ BMI seriously.  It's time to do something about the weight problem before I develop problems that can't be reversed or managed.

Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.
