Life could not get any better than this!
Do you have comorbidities that have not been addressed yet? Are you looking into revision or something? Why, at over 4 years out, do you need "day to day" care?
What I've found is that there are plenty of skilled, knowledgable, fantastic surgeons out there. There are also plenty of skilled, knowledgable, fantastic PCPs out there. Unfortunately, there isn't a whole lot of overlap in those two circles... I have yet to meet a PCP who isn't kind of just blown away by me, mainly because WLS is still pretty foreign to a lot of them. I sometimes feel like the bearded lady at the circus, only in a good way. :)
By the way, for a PCP who is not AGAINST WLS (but isn't really knowledgeable, either), you might try Dr. Sandy Ibrahim. She recently left my PCPs practice (Dr. Horne, he's in McLean, but I don't recommend him because his practice is SO BUSY... takes longer for me to get a physical than it does for me to see my surgeon) and I think she still practices over there. I'm thinking of following her myself.
Good luck finding both.
