How many of you went with first doctor you consulted with

I saw one PS in Tiberious about an hours travel from where I live but in that hospital they only do breast reconstruction. In Israel there are not a lot of hospitals that do Plastics for Bariatrics under HMO coverage. There are many PS that operate privately but I ain't got no money so I then traveled three hours by buses to a hospital that yes does Plastics for Bariatrics. Israel medical works similar to NHS.
I saw the head of the department in July 2010 and was scheduled for April 2011 but then there was a country-wide Doctors Strike in all if Israel for several
months and only emergency operations were done.
In the end I was operated on by two PS in the department (and not who I had originally had my consult) and after my "complications" I know the staff of Plastics quite well and I am scheduled for boobs and scar revision in less than two months if I win my Appeal and would prefer to be in the same environment as previously.

 Thank you both.  I will let you know how it turns out.
