6 week check up??? advice. Started by: laurenf

exact same thing with me hun i was under the impression i would be seeing him at 6 weeks, but its the nurse. n he sed that to me too lol so i travel 40 mins there for 5 mins for her to say yeah ur healing fine u can buy a bra now. pointless if u ask me lol

and ive seen on here that other people have seen there surgeon at 6 weeks

this is what my oc said to me when i emailed about my appointment being at 7 weeks and i tried to bring it forward a week, she hasnt replied after this so ive no idea

‘Your 6 week check is with the nurse usually but I will double check who your appointment is scheduled for you tomorrow.

Your six week check is to ensure you are healing well and have no concerns and then you get the go ahead to stop wearing your sports bra and go out and get measured and also your post op photos for your file, you typically see Mr Traynor again at 12 weeks post op, however if you had any concerns this can be brought forward as generally at 12 weeks you will be seeing more of the finished result.’ x

Hi Girls. Ok, im confused!

I saw my nurse at my 1 week appointment (this was just to make sure scars were healing ok and to take dressings off), then was told by her I need to see my surgeon at 6 weeks which will be a half hour appointment making sure everything is the way it should be etc!

When I booked they did manage to find me an appointment in my 6th week, however if I couldn’t of done that the next one was end of June (which means I would of been 10 weeks post op so It obviously isn’t essential to see surgeon at 6 weeks on the dot! But I would still make sure you got to see the surgeon one one or the other xxx

Im having my ‘6 week check’ at 4 1/2 weeks….. is this a good or bad thing?? xx
