Primary care physician problem. Is your PCP willing to do follow-up care?

I am having WLS performed by a surgeon thousands of miles from my home. My PCP has told me he doesn't want to do follow-up care. I am having trouble finding another PCP. When I tell them what I am doing, they want no part of it. They ask what happens if I have a problem with infection, leaks, etc. They seem to be so uninformed. What will I do if no Dr will monitor me? Has anyone else had this problem? My surgery is scheduled Oct 5.
