Who should I contact and when?
By all means, you may call the hospital where you had the surgery, or your surgeon’s office and ask for a follow up. In the NHS, there are some rules about follow-up appointments that can make this difficult. To avoid a long wait on the phone, (which can be maddening), a short note to your GP will result in a referral that will make it all happen without any more effort from you. Unless you are in pain, there is no urgency, as the chances of any major problem developing are very small.
