Just diagnosed Stage 3 CKD: Should I be referred to a nephrologist?

I had weight loss surgery. My dx is Oxalate nephropathy. I am supposed to stay away from certain foods and take as much calcium as I can tolerate to combat the oxalate crystals.
I do love my primary doc. He knows me so well. He actually thought it was logical that I would want to see the kidney doc even if he thought I didn't need to. He authorized for my peace of mind.

@suebseab I had heard that weight loss surgery can cause some other issues, and you are proving the point. That was good of your primary care to step up and help you.
Here is a website I found that you may or may not have seen yet for low oxalate diets: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/low-oxalate-diet#foods-to-eat-and-avoid If I am repeating what you found out, my apologies!
