See if you can find a Bariatric Surgeon that will help you with follow up. Most are hesitate to do so if they didn't do the surgery but it's worth a try.  Use our Find a Bariatric Surgeon tool in the upper right hand corner.

If you go with a PCP, make sure they are experienced with WLS.  Also try calling local hospitals and check with their WLS departments for suggestions also.

Keep us posted on how things go
