Post Op appointment

Hi .. I booked my post op app for Friday with the nurse when I had my pre op .. Have since text my PC to confirm it all and got no response after a day I called the clinic to confirm and they have told me the nurse isn’t even in on Friday and they can only do Tuesday (which will be 11 days post op) and I’ll be back at work by then so will have to take more time
Out! Have complained and was told my PC would ring me yesterday but still not heard .. So annoyed. Has anyone else had issues with the post op appointments? Xx

Hi holly my post op check is Tuesday too as that’s the first day they have a nurse in xxx

Yeah just abit annoyed no one even contacted me to arrange it, it’s only because I called I even got in for Tuesday .. When did you book yours? Xx

These pcs just want u to pay and once you’ve done that they want nothing to do with u. Not heard from my PC since I paid up and I’m now 4 days PO. She wasn’t much use to begin with anyway.. U should ask to change PC if ur not happy with her

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

Oh god slightly worrying I had my pre op on a Friday and thought my nurse seemed really young early 20’s and she didnt seem to go over to much with me didnt mention the contraceptive pill nothing and I was slightly worried if she even was a nurse or maybe I’m just paranoid but she seemed very young. Also I’ve not heard from my pc she’s never been great either she said she would ring after my pre op and after I met the surgeon but not heard from her 🙁 just goes to show x

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

Yeah mine was great up until now and just not heard anything .. Did see people mention this before I had my op too .. But bad that we have to ring them to arrange follow up appointments as they never told me that .. @jade like I said mine was really helpful and knew her stuff before op but just not heard from her this week xx

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

Yeah I text her on Monday though and still haven’t had a response lol .. Well see if she gets in contact any time soon .. Is your post op app still the same as when you booked it? Just cuz that’s when I booked mine and it’s changed 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

Good stuff 🙂 wish mine was the same as they said! Gunna have to sort out more time off work now 🙁

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

Yeah I don’t have strapping so that’s one good thing .. If the nurse says its ok I would just take it off on Friday too 🙂 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..

Hopefully it won’t! They said mines because they have a new nurse at Nottingham or something but still no word from my PC tried ringing earlier and no response x

So update .. Nurse has called and explained everything 🙂 .. Still can’t go on Friday but just nice to hear from them directly so Tuesday it is x

My nurse at my post op told me about how she wants hers done and how good her tummy tuck was!! Then she ripped half my skin off which I’ve emailed my PC about as I think it’s going to scar and haven’t heard back x

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

OMG was it the strapping that she pulled off then? Sounds well painful ! And yep you’re right to complain! X

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

Surgeon was Dr schiavone and was kind off nottingham/Birmingham .. Don’t get me wrong everything else been fine just this .. But has been sorted now .. Am happy with my overall results just got abit of boob greed but think that should pass as they settle lol xx

@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

Yeah I’m going in to the nottingham clinic bet that’s the same issue with mine .. I had 415 overs they look dead big without a bra but not that big in clothes but I’m sure that will change 🙂 xx

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

Hi yep you should have your 1st one around 7 days after your op 🙂 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

Thanks Hannah! I’ve sorted mine now after I wrote this on here someone got in touch with me about it! Still got to wait until Tuesday but they are staying later for me as can’t have more time off work as I originally thought it was booked for tomorrow – and yep booking the post op should deffo be explained more as no1 mentioned to me that you have to ring and book in either .. I’ll be 10 days PO x

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

What clinic are you going to for it daisy? X

Manchester @holly x

Ah mines nottingham so will be diff nurse .. But yep wish it wouldn’t have changed!! X

Why do they make us appointments with nurse for fridays if there not in till tuesday ffs same happened to me and my pc was ok..i had txs on day of op from her but nothing since and i had one short follow up call from a nurse x
