How often do you see your surgeon?

Morning all,

I saw my surgeon 1 week after surgery because I was having a lot of pain where my lap band port was removed (I'm a convert). Then he said for me to come back in 3 months!

I can't wait to go back and show him all the weight I've lost and my appointment isn't until the third week of October!

How about you? When does your surgeon want to see you?

I saw the nurse practioner one week out. Then I've been back 3 times for nutritional classes and weigh in. I'm scheduled to see my surgeon in a couple of weeks which I will then be 3 months out.

I saw the surgeon at 2 weeks out, 4 weeks out and then I have a appt. for 8 weeks out.

I saw them every week for the first month. Then 3 months out since until I reach the year mark. Don't know what happens after that. I can't wait to show him that I will be at goal by then!!!

Congrats on your surgery. LIFE WILL GET BETTER EVERY DAY.

I saw my surgeon right after surgery in the hospital. I visited the clinic at one week, one month, three months and 8 months (then one year) and all those times I saw the nurse practitioner.

1 week post op and after that monthly
