I'm looking for a new family doc that understands the sleeve. My current doc doesn't at all. I am having kidney issues and hes telling me I must have injured my back and to take some ibuprofen and get over it. I am also trying to see a nutritionist as I am currently 30 pounds below my goal weight and he doesnt see an issue with this. So, anyone have a fantastic family doc that they can share with me?

@@bubblebubbies your post is from quite a while ago but I thought I would through a doctor's name out there.

I see Dr. Douglas Fontyne on the south side of Edmonton. He is a brilliant physician.

He has many patients who have had out of country VSG and does post op care with them.

When I told him about my decision he was nothing but supportive.

In his practice he also had a full time dietitian (not nutritionist. Dietitians are better anyways) right in the office and you can make an appointment with her at any time, without the 3-6 month wait time referral that you would normally have to wait and she is fully covered by Alberta Health Care.

Her name is Susan.

The office number is 780-462-8120.

There is also a doctor in the practice that only see's female patients. Its like a one-stop-shop for all your medical needs :)
