How soon after surgery did u receive f/u care? My sleeve was on 1/14 (last Monday) and repeat sx on 1/16 to correct hernia d/t bleeding....and no word still from my docs office even though I keep calling trying to get some sort of info. I was sent home with a drain also which has subsequently stopped having output and needs to come out? I'm getting really irate and feel that their lack of follow up is totally negligent! I may be hormonal and just crying out in pain so I need some input please....

I guess every doc is different but I had a 1 wk appt already set up prior to surgery. Now I have a 4 wk appt set. If you have worries, call them. Don't sit around and stew about it.

I've called several times and today every 2 hours so far. This is bs and they will give me some answers. I mean this is just ridiculous . I swear whomever receives the calls are totally clueless!

I had a one week appt made before I left the hosp., then a two week and four week, six week, 3 mos. You really have a problem with your doctors office and should insist on getting in immediately.

I called the day I got home and set up my 1 week appt to get staples out. I don't do no answers well- so it wouldn't be good lol. I'm so sorry you are going through this!

My surgeon's office contacted me with my initial f/u appt. before my surgery. They then called me 24hrs after going home to check on me and then reminded me of my f/u date/time. His office is awesome and really take the time to discuss any issues/problems. I didn't have a drain, and i've seen that quite a few people have...I'm not familiar with what it's for and/or why only certain procedures get one...

No not everyone has a drain.

Is is possible for you to contact another baratric surgeon in Your area? Explain the situation,tell them you need to see a Dr now. If not go to an ER. The drain should probably be removed

Well they finally now called me back and have me a f/u appt for next Thursday. Honestly with all the run around I'm getting with the office i would have to not recommend this practice. You can't just cut someone open, remove an organ and not follow up that's just crazy. I mean if u are gonna wham bam thank u ma'am me at least buy me dinner first!! Anyways the assistant who called said the doctor relayed to her that it is ok to have my pcp remove this retched thing from me. Sigh..

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
