Can anyone recommend a primary care physician in Vegas?

I am approved for surgery on 4-13 ((yeah)) but my PCP doesn't agree with WLS and said to rejoin WW.

Needless to say I would like to find a PCP that supports WLS to do my follow ups with as I am going thru with the surgery on 4/13. The surgery center does some follow ups I know but I still need a new PCP.

Thank u in advance!!!

I am under the HPN of Nv plan, and my PCP is Dr. Metcalfe in Henderson. He didn't really comment much on my decision, but was very accommodating in ordering all the necessary tests. This helped keep my cost own as I chose to self-pay rather than jump thru the insurance hoops!

Thanks For the recommendations - I will def look into them :) will def need a new PCP come April lol

I am going thru Oband surgery center - quite a few ladies here at work went thru them for the sleeve with no complications and they have very low out of pocket expenses (most of it was covered by my ins) otherwise I don't think I could afford the surgery.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
