Surgeon Appt. 8am Friday

Hey Guys!  Friday morning (way to early) is my appointment with the surgeon.  I am expecting to come away with a date.  However I'm trying to get questions together to ask...and in the sad passing of Penny I'm lost.  I'm trying not to scare myself or end up asking questions that will make the surgeon think I'm not ready... because I AM!!!     But with what happened to her I do have questions about that.  Any advice?  Anything you wished you asked your surgeon before the big day?

Thanks everyone!

I only had one question about one of the meds I was already on.  By the time I got to the MDs appointment I was so informed and just ready to get my date and pay for the optifast so I could get this journey kick started!

Good luck and congrats!

The surgeon went through the potential risks of the surgery, and added any further info based on my age and BMI.  He wanted to be sure I was prepared and actually ready. 

Good luck on Friday :)

I don't know where you are coming from or going to but Toronto area is suppose to get a ton of snow overnight until mid morning. Take that into account... maybe stay somewhere close tonight?
Congrats on you appointment, let us know how it goes.

In light of her sad passing, i'm planning on asking my surgeon (at my one year follow up) what specific signs and symptoms i have to be aware of that would indicate an emergency situation that means i need to go to emerg. In your case, i would not hesitate to mention her situation, and tell him that you understand that there is a risk, and its not deterring you from surgery, but that you just want to be as well educated as you can possibly be about what constitutes an emergency.

Best of luck.

Careful about the snow in Toronto. People in the city forget how to drive in winter.
