How often do you have Post-Op appointments?



Recommended Posts

In what intervals and how many post-op appointments do most people have? It's the one thing I don't know about my surgeon. Just wondering. Thanks!

It probably varies. I saw my surgeon two weeks after surgery. I just saw the PA at the two month mark. My next appt. is at six months.

I saw the surgeon at 3 weeks, 3 months, and I'll see her again at 9 months. I saw the nutritionist at 3 months.

I had 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, and a 12 month in November. Then either annual or maybe an 18 month? Unsure. But I saw them a LOT in the first 3 months from complications.

I think my first one was at two or three weeks out, then every three months for the first year. Now I just go annually.

My insurance covers 90 days after surgery no co-pay. My first was 2 weeks then I will go two more times then 6 months and one year. I don't remember the time frame thereafter. I will see my PCP in September.

My surgery date was 4/29/19.

Doctor at 2 weeks.

Doctor and NUT at 1 month (it might have been 6 weeks?), 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year and once a year every year after that. I also had a couple very long visit-like telephone calls because I was having some complications.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
