Looking for NICE GP

Hello,  I am somewhat new to this forum... I am looking for a General Practitioner/Family Doctor in the Indianapolis area, preferably one that is interested in helping people with WLS.  I don't want to go to a doctor that isn't sympathetic to obesity and the problems that it causes... believe me I have been to a few of them in my day!!!  I don't want to go and be told... you need to go on a diet.. you need to do this... you need to do that.... Been there done that!!!!   I have found that my insurance will cover any specialist if it is medical necessity and my GP recommends.  I am assuming I would be recommended... I am 5ft and almost 300 lbs!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.   Thank You!

Hi Billy, I am not sure what part of Indy you are from. My PCP is Dr. Pamela Lynch in Mooresville. I LOVE HER!!!! She is awesome. She is very busy all the time but she is the sweetest person. My last 6 month diet appt. We gave each other a big hug. In october I was 284 pounds at 5 '3". I am currently 230 and awaiting Insurance approval for surgery. I highly recommend her. She has been my pcp for 4 years. She cares for her patients and Listens!! She is also a OB and pediatrician. Good luck and welcome to OH. SHanna

Dr L. DeGan on west side of indy near 465 and georgetown rd he rocks

i'm actually thinking of changing my pcp for that reason. when your obgyn doctor is more excited for your wls surgery than your primary doctor, i believe it's time to change doctors. well, that and this stupid upper respiratory infection that he won't give me a second antibiotic for. doxicycline, a day of iv ampicillin, and a 3 day hospital stay didn't kill it, and i don't want it when i go into surgery in 13 (woohoo!) days. so if anyone has a good doctor in lafayette to suggest, i'd love to hear it.
