What follow up support did you get from your surgical team?

So far I had one nutrition appointment at 2 weeks, with other patients. And a PA visit where they basically signed my paperwork and looked at my incisions. They gave me handouts with most of the information. So far I'm underwhelmed. But maybe I'm expecting too much from the medical team, it's not like any other of my doctors take a whole person approach either. I can call the office with questions but follow up is spotty when I leave a message.

I'm scheduled for a six week check this week. Just wondering what other peoples experience has been with their team.

I had great pre and post op support. If I were you I would insist for answers on questions u have. Go to the doctors office ( don't make an appt ) ...justt show up and have them answer your questions. They got good money for this type of surgery.. They should be responsible for following up. Did you ask if they have support groups at the hospital where you had surgery. You could even contact other hospitals in your area ..they may have post op support groups, they may charge you a nonimal fee since you did not have surgery at their hospital.. Usually $25.00.

I did not ask about support groups but that's a good idea. I would think that's information they would give us if there was one. I am seeing a counselor but she's one I already had and doesn't specialize in wls. But maybe finding another group or person that does would be more what I'm looking for as far as follow up support.
