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!!

Members shared their experiences with scheduling post-op appointments after laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, with most reporting that their surgical team automatically set up follow-up visits during the pre-op appointment, typically scheduled for one to two weeks after the procedure. Several members described varying follow-up schedules based on individual needs, ranging from a single two-week check-in to multiple appointments at one week, one month, three months, and six months for those prone to rapid cyst growth. A recurring theme was the relief many felt after excision surgery and the encouragement to proactively communicate with the surgical team about any concerns during recovery, especially given the added uncertainties of navigating healthcare during the pandemic.

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.

The office should set up a postop visit about two weeks after surgery. Schedule one before surgery that way you can put it onto your calendar.
