Consult and date
Hey guys! So this Wednesday I finally get my date and have my last consult. I've been going through the process of the 6 months, testing, etc since last march. I had a consult with my surgeon (Melissa Bagloo at NYP Columbia in NYC) in April and that's when I decided on the vsg. But now just wondering what more in depth questions I should ask. I'm 500+ lbs so I know she is putting me on post op blood thinners. But just wondering what to ask that I may not be thinking of.
A few of us had this discussion the other day... I hope this helps. Best of luck!
