Question:

I live in Wayne NJ. I am looking for a PCP that has several post-op WLS patients. Someone that is very fimilar with the surgery and knows about our special issues. Anywhere in North Jersey is fine. Your help is greatly appreciated.    — Fran S. (posted on March 27, 2005)

Fran...Remember you will always be your own best advocate. Most PCPs know NOTHING about WLS issues...It is up to us, who live this each day and are most informed, to share our knowledge with these doctors. I have done wonders in educating my physician and now receive better care. I have noticed my doctor views me with a sort of new respect, for all the knowledge I am willing to share with her. She now asks me to speak with other patients, who have undergone various gastroenterological surgeries, to share information about eating and food issues. I wish you all the best...we are pioneers of a sort.
