Portland doctors for post-op

 Long story short, I have fallen off the wagon BIG TIME after having 2 kids. I need a RNY-friendly PCP who understands someone being 8 years post-op (and not great with supplementation!). Any ideas? I called OHSU but they need a referral. I have only been here a few years and don't even have a PCP. I JUST got insurance again after years of not having it. Thanks for any advice!

Edit: Just to clarify, I had RNY in 2004 in another state. I haven't had insurance for 5-6 years and haven't needed doctor care in that time (knock on wood!). I do not currently have a PCP or any kind of doctor here in Portland. I HAVE had bloodwork done at a lab testing place so I know I am anemic but I also was before surgery, so it wasn't surprising in the least.

Probably the best thing to do is check with your insurance to see if they have a preferred provider directory.  Usually, those doctors have services covered at a higher rate, resulting in a smaller co-pay for the patient.  From there, I'd go on-line and look for recommendations.  There are several on-line services that rate doctors nowadays and you might find a good recommendation that way.

Ditto checking your insurance company. I had my surgery in another state and my surgery doc recommended someone here for followup. But, they weren't covered by my insurance.

But, the good news was that the doc they did cover is excellent. My surgery doc is very happy with the care I'm receiving here.
