Post Op appointment Started by: Holly

They didn’t ring me I rang them to arrange it, my PC has text me asking how I am etc xxxx

I’m not bashing my PC girls as she was lovely and informative when I first met her, but other than that I’ve never heard from her again Lol x

Hi yes sometimes they do get busy but just be patient she will get back to you, Ive booked my 1 week post op with my nurse at the pre op and she same age as me, it doesn’t matter about age @Jade maybe if you haven’t already mentioned the contraceptive pill that’s why she hasn’t asked you as when you first Register your details that questions comes up on medical sheet?
The nurse was lovely at my pre op x

Yes the time and date is still the same she wrote it down on a mya card for me and also doubled checked her Rota that she’s definitely in on that day aswell x

Yeah my post-op was booked at my pre-op, I had a confirmation text this morn, just had a call to say the nurse isn’t there on Friday n can I go Tuesday, thing is this strapping is really doin my head in now. I asked if I could take it of myself, she said she would ask nurse n get back to me. Think I’m just gonna go ahead on Friday n take it of! X

Mind you mine isn’t till few weeks so in that time anything could happen so I hope mine doesn’t change but so far it hasn’t..

@lucy that has scared me! Gonna take of strapping myself xx

@holly who was your surgeon and what clinic are you at?

@holly I’m at Birmingham and was also due in on Monday for my post op but it’s now been changed to Tuesday – I’m supposed to be back at work Tuesday but I’ve just asked if I can work till half 2 and go to my app at half 3. Birmingham told me today that they have 2 nurses starting but not till beginjg of December. Their previous one left the day I had my pre op. So think there just a but short staffed and trying to jog things around. Not ideal but suppose it can’t be helped. I had mr schiavone too Hun. Yesterday. What size did u have again babe? At present I don’t have boob greed mine feel pretty huge lol

Hi ladies my post op. appointment has already been booked by my pc for 27th December, having op. on 20th december, but with that said I’ve not heard anything at all from my pc, Is a week ok for post operation appointment xx

Hey just thought I would comment on this because I was moaning the other day about my post op appointment. I never booked mine until after my op because I didn’t know it was meant to be booked at the pre-op as I was never told. However when I rang they said that there wasn’t any appointments until the 5th of Dec and I had my op on 22nd Nov. I then moaned a lot and got on to my PC about it and I managed to get in today at 6 days po. You should be having your appointment at 7days post op (6-8 days is fine). They need to check the incisions and make sure they are healing properly – the NHS would never leave patients with out a wound check for more than 7 days and it is very bad practice if it happens. My point is that if you aren’t happy to wait 13 days for your post op then tell them you want it at 7 days until you get it!

Would also like to say that my PC has been great and I would recommend her to anyone and having the strapping off was such a relief I didn’t feel any pain!!

xx

Mine was originally booked for Tuesday then got changed to Wednesday. Weird as you girls were changed to Tuesday. Unbooked me and booked new people in, great haha. Ah well only a day I suppose xx
