Is it just me, or has anybody else notice how many doctors are now performing WLS

Living in New York, and being use to having access to many of the top doctors & hospital is something I cherish. I however have noticed an influx of doctors who now perform WLS in my area. My concern is that while some of these doctors may have knowledge of the procedure; how many of them are equipped for the aftercare that WLS patients require. With insurance companies now willing to pay for WLS, my concern is that more doctors will do this procedure, as a way to earn addition income and not have the resource needed to see their patients through. Any thought?
