Dr appt. next week - what questions

[speechick1969 22]

I meet with a gastric surgeon next week. What questions do you wish you would have asked before your surgery? What did you wish you knew before hand?

Thank you!!!

I haven't had my surgery yet, but there are a few things I have learned since that I didn't know day one. I suggest to be sure to ask about vertical sleeve and acid reflux, if you have reflux issues.

Luckily I have only had a bout with reflux one time, and it was because of taking cod liver oil pills. Never had reflux any other time in my life.

Other than that, I would make sure you get a good feel from the surgeon, and they are a well known organization and he/she is experienced.
