Made appt with GI doc--odd response

I haven't seen my GI in about 3 years...frankly I have been doing pretty well, all he ever says is "you have a narrowing at your surgery site, take your meds, I don't think you have anything else" It was useless to go see him and spend the money. However, they won't refill Rx if I don't see them. So I made an appointment. Nurse asked why I was making appt---told her you won't refill scripts if I don't come in so I figured I should come in. Now she says Oh let me know what script you need...
I don't know whether I should bother or not. She did say if I go to appt next week, it will be a follow up instead of new patient---translation it will cost less. I guess I'll go and get the most out of my money---show him pics of my neck when I had what I think is psoriasis, tell him I can still see my exhale and think I have SIBO, and my joints HURT---all things he said he doesnt think I really have.

Hey Susie. The "new" patient was more a way to say how they would have to bill based on requirements for procedure codes,,,it really was just saying we can bill a smaller $ code.

Yeah 3 years has been a while, but I really haven't needed anything other than what I have been doing since 1990. That is as long as I stick to the diet that works for me! I know that SIBO is a reality, but I don't test positive for it---I don't test positive for a lot of things even fevers! OK yeah...3 years is still a long time...if I had a GI I liked, I would have gone sooner...tried to go back to an old GI, but he has become too important...would have to get multiple doctors to show why I should rejoin their practice.
I'm in a very live and let live attitude toward life, humans and my disease....I think that is keeping me on a stable ground. Hate to change anything right now.

Thanks!
