I just went to my first seminar last week with my boyfriend, and we met our surgeon. There is a HUGE amount of information given. I had a lot of questions. Here are some of my top questions that I asked:

-How long will my recovery time be? When will I be able to lift things?

-What will pregnancy be like while banded? (if you plan on it)

-(If you are self paid) How much are fills?

-Why have people been getting Lap Band and Plication?

-Where would the best location for the port on my body?

-Is this an outpatient procedure here?

-How long will I be in surgery?

-How is follow up care scheduled and billed?

-How is pain managed? Will I be able to tkae medications?

-Potential complications and risks?

That should get you started, I hope it helps.

Well 1st appt went well! Found out I have to do 6mo supervised diet requirement, which I'm okay with because the dr wants me to lose 20 to 40lbs before the surgery!! So it now begins I see my PCP Thursday and then were off!! So excited to begin my journey!!!!!
