Just wondering what you think?

I had my surgery over 3 months ago. I must admit I have had no complications to speak of, other then some migraines recently. But the one thing that bothers me is this, and I would like some imput. I had another surgery prior to having my open RNY,and after I was home, I got numerous calls from not only the hospital but the doctors office to see how I was doing, and If I had any questions. Now the surgery before my WLS was not as major, or at least I wouldnt have considered. After my WLS, I NEVER once got any calls, nor have I been back to see my surgeon or his staff. I have done all my follow up with my PCP. The one time I called my surgeons office, no one even bothered to call me back after surgery and I thought, Geez after having such a major surgery you would think there would be follow up calls. I realize they are very busy, but then they need to add more staff if that is the treatment your going to recieve after you have went through this major surgery. Dont get me wrong, my PCP has done a wonderful job, keeping up with me, and taking care of all my immediate needs, but I think after spending that much money, the surgeons office should have at least called. Not to mention I live hours away from them, and they dont even know If I got home. Sorry to vent, but I just think it is not a very good practice to do that. Its been something that has been bothering me now for 3 months, and I was wondering if I could get some input on this. DO you think they should have at least called. Or maybe called me back???
