Any supportive primarycare MD's for WLS? - SJ to SSF BayArea

My husband's company just went with Lifeguard HMO, it doesn't sound like WLS through this insurance is a good prospect without legal aid, however I just got a position with ECH they have Blue Cross HMO or PPO available to me following three months of employment. Anyone know a good doc through BC PPO or ?lifeguard/ha,ha! I WOULD REALLY LIKE THE NAME OF A PLAN PRIMARY CARE DOC ASSOCIATED WITH MILLS/PENINSULA to help take me through this. Im determined to have this surgery so I can begin living a real life. Im a nurse and today in my orientation class we were required to use gaitbelts, I could barely get it around my girth, everyone else had tons of slack in their belt. I WAS HUMILIATED, but ofcourse I suppose I should be used to it by now. I almost did not even get the job I needed a medical clearance first from my medical group for my weight related plantar fascitis. We grin and bear our genetic predisposition as this is not a moral issue as documented in so many case studies, yet insurance and medicine treats it as though it is and will deny us the opportunity for a really great thing for our medical issue at the first chance they can because of the monetary issue as well. Sorry to go off like that but I get frustrated. Anybody out there in the BayArea BJ Klien, M. Skinner, Diane walmer who are your primary doc's?????
