Consult Day!!

[BetterLife2018 7]

I finally have my consult appointment on August 7th at 10am with my first choice surgeon!! I'm so ecstatic, I can't contain myself!!

Does anyone have any questions I should ask or anything I probably wouldn't think to ask??

You could ask how long you will stay in the hospital after your surgery. Or find out if the surgeon has a nutritionist in the office to help you with pre- and post-op food plans. Also, ask about the pre-op diet so you won't be shocked when you find out that you will most likely be expected to adhere to one. Not every surgeon requires it but many do and it's good to be mentally prepared for that part. Good luck!
