How often to see the doctor after surgery

Am considering lap band surgery and was wondering, how often are you to see the doctor afterwards? Is it after 2 weeks, then how often after that?

Thank you.

  • Mine called for 11 visits in the first year......I believe the follow up is the key to success.

I went I think it was every 4 weeks at first in the first year but that's what my Surgeon wanted , after 2 years it is every so often just to make sure everything is fine & in place.
