Each surgeon is different in how they conduct their consultations.   Generally, you have already attended a seminar on the different types of procedures your surgeon performs as well as program criteria, etc.   So, what the main focus of the consult at this stage is to determine which procedure you are a good candidate for, if he/she offers several.   Do your research on each, so YOU know which surgery you want him to do.   Some surgeons might direct you in a specific direction while others will ask you what you want to have.  Either way, you need to be educated and informed on what each procedure can accomplish in terms of total weight loss, complication rates and recovery time.    Read the reviews that other patients of your surgeon have posted on Obesityhelp, to help you see how they did with that surgeon.    

Good Luck!
