Your follow-up appointments
Before you leave the hospital, we will give you a follow-up appointment. If you don’t have an appointment for a follow-up before leaving the hospital, call your surgeon’s office the first week you are home.
Your surgeon will send a letter to your family doctor about your surgery. Your family doctor will provide on-going medical care once you leave the hospital. See your family doctor for any problems or questions about your medicines, prescriptions, managing your pain, sleeping, appetite or constipation.
When
About 2 to 4 weeks after the operation.
Where
What to Expect
This appointment will let your doctor see how you are feeling. It is important for measuring your progress. On the day of your follow-up appointment, go to the x-ray department first to have a chest x ray. If you were instructed to have blood work, please go to the blood lab at least one hour before your scheduled appointment.
What to Bring
Your health card and a list of any medications you are taking.
