:smile2: HELLO I'M NEW AT ALL THIS AND I NEED ALOT OF HELP. I HAVE BLUE CROSS ANTHEM THREW MY WORK AND I WOULD LIKE TO GO THREW DR.FELIX BUT I NEED A PRIMARY DOCTOR MY OLD ONE NO LONGER ACCEPTS ARE INSURANCE HE SWITCH TO PRIVATE PAY OR SOME THING LIKE THAT. SO IF ANYONE KNOWS A GOOD PRIMARY DOCTOR CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME.

Hi, I had my surgery done in Fresno by Dr. Boone. I heard that Dr. Felix is an awesome doctor so best of luck. I don't know any primary doctors since I live in Merced. If I can help in any way, just let me know. On this website, you will find answers to almost anything. Make sure you look at a bunch of different discussions and Good Luck on beginning your new adventure!

Welcome!

I've heard excellent things about Dr. Felix! Have you tried calling their office and asking them about PCPs who they like working with? Just a thought. Don't know if they could help or not but might be worth a try.

I have Kaiser, so it was all done in-house.

Best wishes on your journey!

Thanks to you guys. i need all the help i can get. i way about 250lbs and i stand about 5'4. i'm so uncomfortable in my own body and i just want to be happy with myself.

I know how you feel. I'm 5'3 and when I started the process had been fooling with the same 4lbs (240-236) for nearly a year! I'd been higher but had managed to lose some weight on WW but when I gained it back I was able to stop at 240 without gaining ALL of it back! Then the 4lb yo-yo started.

I too started getting so uncomfortable. Everything started to hurt. BP was barely managed, etc, etc. I needed to DO something!

I feel SO much better now! I've still got a long ways to go but things just are SO MUCH BETTER now!!!
