Meeting With The Surgeon

[ShouldBlittler 89]

I have my first meeting with the surgeon tomorrow. I've been keeping a list of some questions I have. What questions do YOU think I should be asking tomorrow?

Thanks in advance,

how much of the stomach they typically remove, will you have a drain, will you still have a tube down into your stomach when you wake up. these were big q's for me at least.

I actually didn't ask any questions during my consult. He answered all of them in his seminar. It was required before any apts one on one with him. If you haven't gone to one in your area you might want to. Mine was very detailed.

However my next apt I will be asking what rx should I continue. Some prescriptions, Vitamins and herbal remedies must be stopped several days before surgery. I also

will be asking if I can wear plastic retainers in my piercings. You can't wear any metal of any kind during surgery do to the fact the instruments use electric currant to cartirise the incisions. My only other question will be when can I lift more than 10 pounds. I have an infant and 2 yr old so that's a must.
