Default Psychs treating patients w/PCOS and WLS?

Hi Everyone. I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I think this may be the only population who knows the answer. (I'm also posting this on the ObesityHelp.com message boards.)

I am moving to DC in July, and I recently had Realize band surgery. I am seeing a therapist here, but I want to continue seeing a therapist when I move to DC. I am looking for a doctor who is knowledgable about PCOS and the mental stress it brings (e.g. terrible symptoms, trouble trying to conceive, trouble losing weight, etc.). I also need the therapist to have knowledge/experience working with people who have had weight loss surgery, because (as we all know) the post-op life carries its own stressers, including dealing with new eating habits, working on new life patters, and staying away from food addictions.

I would appreciate any recommendations of therapists (psychiatrists or psychologists) in the D.C. area. Even if you are not sure if they have experience in both of these subject areas, I would appreciate any names and I can do some additional research on them.
Thanks!
