Random Question-What would YOU Do?

Here's the situation: Had an EGD Tuesday and have had a major issue with trapped gas. I told the nurse the day of, I called the office the day after.  I called Thursday...was forced to make an appointment. I called this morning. I don't feel the appointment is necessary (between Maalox, GasX and a make-you-go-poop pill, and posts on ObHelp) because it's GAS. I just wanted to talk to the doctor to get some advice on if there is anything else I can do to move things along (no pun intended).

My weight loss doctor and surgeon's office talk to me (who inititally got me into this gastro).

Yet....nobody has returned any of my phone calls from the gastro's office.

So...I'm talking to myself, "Self...why the heck are you going to go to an appointment when nobody can be bothered to return your call??" Why not find another gastro?"

I can get into my pcp's office tomorrow morning. I'm not dying, I"m feeling slightly better (stil have GAS)....

My question for you...would you fire your doctor? I'm giving serious consideration here.

My experience with Dr Krause and his office partner Dr. Jury (Whom I have known since we were kids) is that they both are amongst the finest surgeons I have ever met. I was pleased and impressed with all of the Doctors that they have referred me to. I would stay with anyone they recommend because they have never steered me wrong. But if I have a recommendation it would be to call up the Beaumont Weight Loss Center in the morning and tell them your problem. The will fit you in that day and answer any and all questions on the spot. Dr Zalisan has done this for me several times. The gastro doctor I was sent to is very busy and in demand, but I had a serious complication, early out, and he pulled me through it. I saw him so often, while I was in the hospital that you would think that I was his only patient.

Hi Nick,

I have no complaints with Dr. Krause. He was great, his office has been great, Sue has been fantastic. I saw the gastroenterologist at Maple Medical, and he's the guy I don't want to see again.

Side note....I went through Unasource Comprehensive Weight Loss Center, they're affiliated with Beaumont and Dr. Doyle has worked with Dr. Krause for a really long time. Beaumont won't talk to me because I didn't go through their program.

You might what to try some fresh pineapple chuncks to help with the gas
