What did you ask the surgeon?



Recommended Posts

After you were done with all of your Lifestyle Classes and had seen the surgeon after that, what kind of questions did you ask them and what happens at that appointment, exactly?

I just want to know what what to expect as far as the appointment itself goes.

One major question I had was "how good are you at this surgery?" To which he proudly and confidently replied.. "I am the best there is."

Yes! I asked how many times he's had a leak. He gave me a cocky smile and said "never".

I asked his PA the same question...her answer was never also.

That was important to me.

My husband asked how many surgeries he had done when he was in Chicago & at mayo where he currently resides, he had done over 400. I wanted a surgeon who did the procedure robotically, which he did.

I asked Dr Eilli to explain exactly what he was going to do. I obviously knew I was having bypass but did not know details. He showed me pictures & explained the procedure in detail.

He did not rush the visit and explained everything thoroughly..
