My Doctor requires his patients to attend a couple hour seminar with his staff just prior to surgery.  What are some question I should ask?  I've learned so much from this forum about protein and vitiamins but I know there are things that I should ask that I can't think of.

Whatever you believe you have learned on the forums, please be aware that every doctor has his own plan for vitamins and nutrition...so here are some questions I would ask:

What vitamins should I take (with dosages)?
When do vitamins begin post surgery? Any recommended brands?
What is the specific nutritional plan post op? Week by week, will I receive a list of foods that I can introduce?
What is the specific dietary guideline for daily intake of protein and fluids?
How do I reach the doctor if I have an emergency?
What is the schedule for post op follow up visits the first year? After the first year?
What follow up support is available from the nutritionist?
What is the most frequent complication that the doctor seems among RNY patients?
What is the recommended plan for introducing exercise post op?

Hope these are helpful!
