He will be who I see at my Meet the Surgeon appointment. Anyone else have him for their surgeon?
I've read all about him and very excited to meet him.
What question should I ask during this meeting? I have few written down but it never hurts to ask.

My former colleague had him as a surgeon and he says Dr. Okrainec was fantastic.  He was very attentive post op and there was very little pain.  Nothing at all negative to say about the whole process.  His surgery wasn't an RnY but it was still major gastrointestinal surgery.  You're in very good, capable hands.
Don't let his youthful looks frighten you off, he's been at this for quite some time :) 
Ask him anything you like, it's hard for us to say what you're wondering about.  :)  I asked my surgeon what his personal mortality rate was.  lol

I would call once a week and see if they have an opening. They told me to do that and I was able to get in sooner.

They told me the same thing, too - guess it doesn't hurt to keep trying, though!
