“When to start pelvic work post surgery-good to know you started two months later. Wonder if it's ok to start sooner. Adding that to my questions for the doctor. ”

What my care team told me the day I had my catheter removed was, “We’ll see how it goes for the next 6-8 weeks, and if you haven’t seen any improvement by then, we’ll get you set up with a pelvic floor physical therapist.”

However, when I went back for my pathology review and surgery follow-up just three weeks after my surgery, they asked about my peeing situation, I told them, and both my doctor and the nurse said, “That’s no good, you should be seeing some kind of improvement by now,” so the nurse toddled off for about 20 minutes, then came back and said he’d found me a therapist about 35 minutes from my house, and sent in the referral for me.

I called the facility a few days later because I hadn’t heard from them, and I’m glad I did, because they were scheduling so far out, the soonest they could see me was…8 weeks after my catheter removal, but then there was a cancellation, so they got me started at 7 weeks.
