I had emergency 22 cm bowel resection on 5/20/15 and was discharged with a 6/16 follow up with the surgeon and an 'August 28' appointment with gastroenterology. My regular gastroenterologist went full time research. I have been on the phone complaining to the nurses yesterday and today. Need to consult with a doctor regarding what was found and meds going forward. I'm 58 years old & single so handle my own affairs. The best they could come up with is an appointment on 6/24 with a doctor that is new. This is University of Michigan Health System, not a small medical facility. I am perplexed about all this and just put in a complaint. I would really like to find another medical group, but want to be able to use U of M for any further surgeries. For those of you who have had surgery, how far out was your follow up appointment scheduled? Anyone have similar problems?
