Hi All!

Tomorrow I have my appointment with the surgeon. I'm wondering if there were any specific questions any of you asked your surgeon. My thoughts....how many procedures he's done, mortality/leak rate, hospital stay length...etc. Others?

Thanks!

Those sound perfect! One more might be what size Bougie he uses. If you'd like to know

The Bougie is the tube thingy that goes down your throat and into your stomach, our Surgeon uses it as a guide to staple around and make your new sized tummy.
