Waiting to hear from Kathy
Okay, I'm here.
Monday: Call PCP. Appointment scheduled for next Tuesday. ARGH! Husband calls PCP. Got me appointment with NP for Thursday afternoon (hey, it's the same week even!)
Tuesday: PCP's office doesn't call cell phone - calls home and says "Can I come in at 3?" I don't get the message til late morning. Appointment goes to someone else. I call pissed off at the world. I do however get appointment Thursday afternoon with doctor herself.
Determine that my problem seems to be my stomach. I cannot eat that much at one sitting. Still have off and on light chest pains (that move around but not gas).
Stomach is sore (aka hurts a bit). Got some acid reflux going on. Call gastro's office at 9:30 to get appointment. Leave message.
Wednesday: No call backs from any doctors.
Thursday: Late morning. No call from gastro's office YET. Call again. Get told "It can take 2-3 days for them to call you back but they are good about calling back." Explain my situation. Am allowed to leave yet another message. As of 5 pm today... STILL no call back.
Afternoon - go see PCP. She got discharge info from hospital so she knew I was there and I fill her in on all the gory details. She thinks it probably is stomach aka our plumbing revision. She wants CT scan. She had another bypass patient that had a folding over bowel issue. She didn't hear lots of bowel sounds outta me (I did go potty this morning). 
She says I should definitely see endo. That he'll probably do an endoscopy. I tell her of issues getting gastro to call back. She says she'll call them. It was after their hours so who knows if it'll matter.
She ran liver enzymes, pancreas values and selenium levels to follow-up on stuff.
So, I need to:
1. Schedule CT scan (yet again)
2. Get voodoo doll that looks like gastroenterologist's office staff and get busy and stick the snot out of those people.
Have a nice day. 
(At least I still have a sense of humor through all of this... if not, I shudder to think what I'd be doing if I didn't...)
To Barb, for checking up on me! Love ya, lady!
