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. I see the surgeon February 13th. I feel silly for posting this on the wrong thing. It's in another forum somewhere and I can't delete it...

Im doing a 6 mo diet for insurance approval. I have one month to go. Here are some questions I asked but also some I will ask on my next visit. 1. Expected recover time, 2. Single incision (New), 3. Outpatient surgery (New) 4. When approved will I have options on surgery date, as I will have to make arrangements with my job, 5. Vitamins patch versus oral, 6. Gerd and hiatus hernia, 7. Pre op diet.

Thanks for replying. I just completed the 6 month diet. I'm just having a hard time figuring out what to ask.

      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.
