Is there somewhere I can find a pcp who is knowledgable about WLS?

I have noticed that alot of people have a difficult time with their primary carepysician being knowledgeable about weight issues. For example - mine has not been wanting to look at the whole picture and I think it's because he doesn't know enough about obesity. He has said that my stress test results were good but I know for a fact that the woman who did them told me that there was something wrong with the way my heart beats. Something Fibrilation. I'm reading about it and I could get blood clots pooling in my heart. Not that I won't. I pray that I won't. But my point is I find this often. Some doctors see that you are on antidepressants and they think that everything is in your head. Some doctors see that you have a weight problem and all of a sudden none of your aches and pains are valid anymore. Is there a sight similar to this one where you can find a wieght friendly doctor of any kind - not just a surgeon. And if there isn't do you think we could include it somehow. I think alot of people could benefit from knowing that they don't have to stay with one doctor because they think there isn't anyone better.
