And the Saga continues....

Once again, I'm having doctor problems. First I lost my family doctor and my endocrinologist that I had first spoken to about RNY. Found replacements for them and and started my mandatory weight loss per insurance. Both doctors were good with what I was planning. Then had my cardio. appointment all set up. Got the phone call, appointment had been made with the wrong cardiologist. New appointment, new cardiologist. Then another call. The cardiologist wouldn't be in the office that day. New appointment. This morning, I get a phone call. My family doctor (the new one) is moving to an out of town clinic.All other doctors in the clinic are booked for months out. Will a physician's assistant work with my insurance? I don't know so I call the insurance. Hmmm. they aren't sure either. But go ahead and weigh in with the PA. Nope, not gonna until somebody is sure it will count. I call another clinic in the system, explain what's going on. Put on hold for ten+ minutes. Comes back, gets my phone number and tells me she'll call back. Less than ten minutes later, I get the phone call (I'm starting to twitch every time the phone rings) She was concerned that if I switch clinics, my weigh-ins might not count. She had called the original clinic and had managed to get me in with a doctor for my weigh-ins on the same days as my original appointments and at the same times. Just a different doctor. Why couldn't the first clinic have done this to start with? One thing I do know. I really need to do something nice for Ann at the second clinic!
