    Thanks again [@rileyroo]‍ and [@Jbains]‍ 

    reckon I'm as ready as I'll ever be ( well today anyway:-)

    meanwhile.....

    Just received letter today confirming my outpatient appointment with consultant this will be 10days post op. Says to allow 2-3 hrs for appointment to allow any investigations I require to be performed. So this convo has just took a turn(sorry) - were you's told to allow 2-3 hrs for your follow up appt? 

    Bless ya both my questions just go on don't they!

    take care ladies

    Mine was four weeks post op and as per usual with the hospital I go to contained absolutely no information whatsoever other than the date and time. Ten days is pretty soon after post op, I am guessing your consultant will check you over and make sure your incisions are healing, no seroma, no infections etc. It might be possible at that stage for your consultant to work outwhen you are likely to be sufficiently healed so that you can be referred for rt. That's a joy in itself.
