where can I go to see a Dr. experienced with severe complications?

My husband had gastric by-pass 2 years ago. about 6 months from surgery he developed severe diarreha and/or gray stools, weakness, low protein levels, electrolyte inbalance, malnurished, dehydrated, low potassium, low iron levels etc. his surgeons solution was eat more protein and come back in 6 weeks. we did this for 6 months (120 to 150 grams of protein per day). his lab results just got worse each month. after 6 months he was hospitalized for 3 weeks--IV feeding and IV potassium (his 2nd hospitalization for potassium IV) He has had an upper GI and lower GI scope and been tested for stroke. May 2006 he could drive and do what ever he wanted to do. he can no longer drive, cannot get in or out of bed or chairs with my help, can only take a few steps to get from the chair to the wheel chair. He was diagnosed in Feb with c-diff and was put on flagal. he may have had c-diff for a year or more. I need to know where to take him for help. He is 70 years old. we did not realize it at the time of his surgery but he was the oldest patient (68 yrs old) the surgeon had ever operated on and the surgeon NEVER had a face-to face consultation with my husband about the surgery. he never saw him until he was on the operating table. I am desperate for some place to take him to that can diagonse the problem.
