Hello everyone my name is Melissa and this is my first post new to this site. I'm from New Jersey. I got my surgery on December 22. Before my operation I was at 270 and day of surgery I was at 255. Now 6 weeks out I'm at 222. I feel better then ever but all this being new I wanted to make sure I'm doing everything as planned but my doctor is out and I won't be able to see him till March. How did your 6 week check up go what was involved? I feel like I'm missing out.

I was to be seen at 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. Blood drawn at the 3 month, 6 month and 1 year mark. If you're not having problems, waiting another month should not be a huge deal. If you ARE having problems, there better be an emergency on call for your Doc's office in an emergency.

No problems everything feels and seems fine.

I was seen at one week, two weeks, three weeks, six weeks, three months, and will be seen at six months and one year. The first visit that had much of an impact was three months, when they drew blood. The visits before that were just checking weight and blood pressure. After having done them, I can honestly say that missing all of them up to the three month mark wouldn't have mattered since I was doing fine.

Thanks that's helpful

No post op check up at all!

Some of us had our surgery in Mexico, so there was no post op check-up at all.

I think you will be fine. If you have any questions, concerns, perhaps you could call the nurse. Sounds like you are doing great!

I did the two weeks follow up and all was fine.
