Post op care-blood work, any other procedures?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery in Mexico. What type of follow up care did you have your first year after the surgery? Blood work (if so how often), endoscopy (is it necessary??) or any other procedures? I am almost a month out and have no complications, but since I am not seeing my original surgeon on a regular basis, I just wanted to know what I should have and how often.

My regular doctor ordered blood work for me at 2 and 4 months out (just a full panel like you'd have for you physical). Both came back excellent, so now she doesn't want to see me again until 8 months out.

As for an endoscopy, I haven't had any need for one, but if there were any concerns, I'm sure my doctor would order one or refer me to a specialist who would order one.
