First Dr Visit questions



Recommended Posts

Going to my primary care Dr on Thursday to discuss the sleeve, what are some of the most important questions you felt you missed asking when you began your journey?

I feel I didn't ask enough, it was "I'm prediabetic and done trying on my own, I'm having wls". I wish I would've asked more, but my mind was made up. Good luck

If you think your primary care doctor may not be on board with WLS, I would be prepared to debate the merits of the surgery and that you've failed to lose out yourself for x number of years. There is still a stigma.

I think if he is against it, I will seek out a bariatric center, and continue my journey.
