Joining this board

My husband and I will be moving to the Asheville metro area this fall (Sept time frame). We have been looking at property online and will hit the ground in late June to start the visual check of possible properties.

We are both DS'er's...his surgery was in Dec 2010, mine 5 weeks later in Jan 2011. Both of us have reached goal weight. (both of us are lightweights).

One thing we know we will need is a knowledgeable OR TRAINABLE PCP to help with labs. But until we know which county and which insurance, we don't know who will be in network.

But I just wanted to step in the door and say hi!

Hope you have liked the properties you have seen in person!

I would think your surgeon could give you a recommendation once you know exactly where you will be living.

Thank you...we did find a house in Tryon.

As to my surgeon, HE will just expect me to come see him. *I* am using this as a reason to leave him as his aftercare sucks pond water. He's a fantastic cutter but his office is clueless.

I prefer to find a PCP willing to work with me. We also may run into an issue with insurance as our Medicare Advantage policies tend to want us to stay IN state and my surgeon will be out of state then.

Hope you find someone you like! I cannot imagine moving to another state and a doctor thinking I'd come back for follow ups!

I would call the bariatric surgeons and see who they most often get referrals from.
