questions i should ask my surgeon ???
ok so i am nearing my meeting with my surgeon and i have a list of questions i want to ask her but i was wondering if maybe i am forgetting to ask her anything ??? what questions did you all ask and what ones do you feel you should have asked and didn't ?? i really want to be as prepared for this WLS as i can be and i want to be as eduated as i possibly can be too... any help would be greatly appreciated.... thanks
I actually had very few questions because we had to attend 12 support sessions before surgery and they included all the diet information, hospital information, surgery stuff in those "support" meetings which were really training sessions. But here are a few that come to mind
1. How often do you do labs?
2. How will I be followed after surgery?
3. Is the Nut a diatition? How oftern can I access her?
4. do you follow the American Council suggestions with Vit/min?
5. How long will I be in the hospital?
6. If you haven't determined which surgery, ask about the various kinds.
7. Ask about your co-morbidities if you have any and the chances of success in getting rid of them.
8. Ask about their complication rate
That's a start at any rate.
