When did they schedule your post op appt to review everything with the surgeon? Should I do that now so I dont have to think about it or risk waiting too long after surgery? Or did they automatically have an appt tome set up for you aftet the surgery as part of the process? Thanks in advance!!
They gave me the follow up appointment at my pre-op consult. But if you are concerned, you can certainly call the office and ask how they do it. They won't mind. For my second surgery, Dr. Mosbrucker was out of town for a conference, but she went over her findings with my husband and I at the hospital before I was discharged. My follow up was with her NP, Beth, who was fabulous!
Agree with Kat....they always give me the follow up date at the pre-op, and my next appointments are already in the books before surgery. I love my NP too!
And if you have any questions during healing - even if it's not time for follow up - please contact your doctor.
They automaticslly gave me one for 2 weeks after my op :)
I got my post op appointments after my surgery the day after i left the hospital. I saw the np the day after to remove the catheter. I see the np again 2 weeks post op and the performing surgeon 4 weeks post op.
