Good Evening All, does anyone know of a good primary care dr in the Salem or Albany area?  I've asked all my friends and no one can suggest a good dr.   I'm tired of being asked at the urgent care who my primary care dr is.   I want to find one who's supportive of WLS patients.  Thanks!

Hi, I live in Albany and recently had an RNY with Dr. Jan at Legacy. My PCP is Dr. Jenny Olsen at the clinic on Waverly. She's had about a half dozen patients have WLS, and is supportive. How are you doing on your WLS  journey?

I'm doing well so far.  I've had some unpleasant experiences; but I assume that's all part of the learning process.  The first month was easy because you are on such a rigid eating plan; but once I started integrating normal food into the mix, it became a little more difficult.    We thought I had a stricture at one point but we've determined that I just have to cut my vitamins down even smaller and be VERY careful about chewing my food.     Other than that, I'm very happy and roughly 115 lbs; 75lbs pre-surgery and about 35-40 since surgery.    And you?
