I want to make the most of my one year post op appt with my surgeon in November. I always forget to ask things and think of them later. I just can shake my nerves when I'm there. What are some good questions you ask at your appts being post op??

I have my one year appointment coming up next month and I would like some input as well. But some questions I have so far are:

1. What should I expect my final weight to be?

2. When would I stop losing weight, how does the weight loss eventually slow down.

3. Do most people in this practice maintain their weight loss and do you have any advice on how to do this?

4. Are there any changes to my medication or diet plan that are recommended?

5. Saggy skin issues any suggestion?

6. When should I be seen again?

That's all I have so far.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
