Follow up visits

I saw my surgeon a good week post op and my next appointment is in 6months. Are you guys doing any follow up with your Pcp?

I am not doing any with my PCP. However, I saw my surgeon and NUT at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 5 months.

I probably should have seen my PCP right after surgery when my BP numbers started to improve. Instead I just stopped my BP meds.

1 week post-op and then 6 months seems far apart. Although I guess those that have surgery in Mexico have no real follow-up.

When I was discharged from the hospital, the nurse told me I had to follow up with my PCP within a week of surgery. I called my PCP, and they told me that I didn't need to come in for an appointment as long as I was following up with my surgeon regularly.

I had surgery 4 weeks ago and I have a regular appointment with my PCP in September. So I'm just going to wait until then. I saw the surgeon yesterday and I'm seeing him again in 6 weeks. Plus I saw the dietician and will see her again mid-July. That's good enough for me.

I feel good but I worry that I don't have to see him again for six months. I am thinking of seeing my PCP to make sure am on track

My surgeon's office recommended I see my PCP after my first month surgery follow-up to see if any of my meds needed to be adjusted. I also made an appointment with my sleep doctor because I needed an adjustment on my BiPap. I wound up getting a new BiPap because mine was several years old and the new ones automatically adjust.

I see my PCP post surgery on a regular basis. My surgeon recommended I keep him informed of my progress. I'm glad I do.

No follow up with PCP but saw surgeon one week after surgery, one month mark, three months, six months, and one year. Thereafter once a year. I see my PCP every six months for other health issues and prescription refills. Same with cardiologist. Once a year with pulminologist.
