tomorrow is my big class on the sleeve and also one week prior to my surgery.

I know I need to find out:
What bougie size my surgeon uses
what is his rate of people keeping the weight off



(I already know his infection/complication rate and how many he has done) So, what other questions do I need to ask. I have heard they will provide me with a huge spiral bound diet plan with this particular doctor. Thanks for any suggestions..

 I'd ask if you'll get a drain and if so, how it works.  Ask how many nights his patients usually stay.  Make sure you're clear on what the pre-op diet entails.  

Good luck.  Congratulations on getting your surgery!  I can't wait to see how you change!!
