First post op surgeon visit! Help?

I just found out my appt to see the doctor that performed my surgery on Feb 21 has moved my first follow up appt to tomorrow. I tried to ask the office what to expect for this visit and got no where 😞Just wondering if my staples will be removed and if there is an internal exam as well. I can barely get around the house so this surprise updated dr visit should be fun. Not. Thanks in advance for any input as to what I might expect

Re: First post op surgeon visit! Help?

usually it is staples out. Internal exam is not until 5 or 6 weeks. Oh yea. the real hard part. He asks you how you are doing? lol.

He won't take a look in unless there is something wrong. And this is a wellness visit.

My first postop (2 weeks) all my dr did was look at the incisions and answer questions and explain a few things. No internal exam at all. Just breathe, you will be fine.

I had a post op appt at 2 weeks and again today at 4 weeks. He did an internal exam at both. I was also very anxious about that. But the good news is it did not hurt. And today's 4 week exam was a little more extensive internally but it also did not hurt. I am much less nervous about going in now. Hope that helps.
