killerhighlights 1 Posted April 24, 2011 My PCP has recommended me for WLS. I have my first appointment with the surgeon next Monday. What can I expect? What kind of questions should I ask? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hopetolose 192 Posted April 25, 2011 Congrats! I never knew what to ask my doctor either. I think I researched so much that he probably couldnt answer anything that I might have already known. I asked about how many people he has had that have slipped and flipped and what the procedures are for those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
killerhighlights 1 Posted April 25, 2011 That's a good question. I just hope that I can get this done in the next couPle of months Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElizabethNYC 1 Posted April 25, 2011 I was pretty nervous my first consultation with my surgeon so make sure if you do have any questions to write them down before hand. I asked a lot about the complications and how many surgery's she's done and what kind of band she uses. I can't think of anything else I asked right now but if I remember I'll get back to you.

kayekaye 2 Posted April 28, 2011 How long did the process take? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElizabethNYC 1 Posted April 28, 2011 How long did the process take? It depends on your doctors and or your insurance company. Everyone's journey is different honestly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
