So I'm curious, how long post op did you see your surgeon for follow up? I'm seeing him this week for my "6 months" even tho I'm 8months (I saw him at 5 mo for an issue that he was useless for). If I have a great pcp, internist, and gastroenterologist who follow me closely, do I need to see the surgeon??

You're right. You don't. I strictly see my PCP. She even did my 6 month blood work for me.

I've only been seeing my PCP since I was sleeved in Mexico. I do have email and phone follow-ups with my surgeon's office, most specifically the nutritionist, but my PCP has handled all my post-op vitals and blood work. I saw her a 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, and I'm scheduled to see her next week at 8 months.

That's what I was leaning towards. I'm so glad to know there are others who have successfully done that.
