Post-Op Appointment

I have my post-op appt today for my D&C. Anyone know what I should expect?

Sidenote: they better not make me get on the scale again....

Did I vainly mention the 9 lbs I put on in just 12 short weeks?

for me it seemed like regular exam nothing out of the ordinary. Spoke about contraceptive and if I wanted to get pregnant again that I should wait 2 cyles.

Good luck:hug

i don't think they'll make you get on the scale! Just a normal exam, expect to be poked a little.

I think you can skip the scale.

just a regular exam and the doctor will probably ask you how you are feeling, bleeding, cramping etc.

He'll probably also advice you on how long to wait to TTC and any other questions you have.

I think its mostly to make sure you are healing physically (and emotionally).



good luck!

I would totally skip the scale- I actually JUST did. The nurse wanted to weigh me, and I was like, "Aren't I going through enough torture today?" She laughed and just used my old weight.

Hope it went okay!

Well...fabulous...they made me get on the scale. 10lbs yes, that is 1lb HIGHER than I was last week... I'm mortified.

Appointment went well, though. Everything is healing and no swelling. He said spotting should stop any day now and I should get my first period before Nov 1.

Thanks for the support!

okay - so we have good news all around...

hon - you gained one pound... the minute you start weighing what i do is when i'd panic! until then - i'm positive you are WAY under 150.

I'm glad that it went well

If it's any consolation, I gained 12 lbs in my 8 weeks
