PCP recommendations

I don't have a lot of confidence in my PCP - Does anyone recommend a good PCP that has experience in dealing wiht bariatric patients?  I had Lap RXY 10/3

 

Thanks!

Wish I could help...but will offer a suggestion... and ask your surgeon if he knows any.

I am just wondering? What do you need your PCP to know or be aware of? You should be following up with your surgeon for all bariatric matters and the 2 should work together if need be. My doctor has been very supportive in all aspects of my journey. But I am just wondering why you aren't following up with surgeon............................................................................. BTW - I am going to start training for a triathlon in January. The training program takes you from the couch to event, if you might be interested let me know.

Thanks for the notes - This was posted on the Ohio site.... As far as the why, I had my surgery in Mexico so it's tough to see him regularly.  I talked to Dr. Myers at Riverside and he basically said unless I'm in the emergency room, he won't help - nice huh?

I go to Dr Melissa Payne on Highview Blvd on the south end. While she isn't completely in the dark, she is very familiar with me and has several other bariatric patients. She could at least keep up with your bloodwork. You may also want to try Dr Curry. I know he will follow band patients of other doctors, he may do the same for RNYers, but I'm not sure.
