I have my first appointment with my surgeon tomorrow and I don't know exactly what to ask him. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Well - what are you curious/wondering about? That's the best to ask your surgeon, since that will provide answers to *your* questions. If we tell you what to ask, it just provides answers to *our* questions.

Trying to remember back to my consult... I asked about his complication rates, about which bands he used, about port placement, about which band he thought I would get, about his thoughts on band vs other procedures, about his personal preferences, and a few specific questions related to activities I like and their down time, etc.
