Questions before meeting the doctor



Recommended Posts

Hi everybody, I was just wondering if anybody had any good questions that I might not know that I could ask the doctor. I have a few questions already, but I have come to an end.

Thank you

Kayla

Hi Kayla: Here are a few I asked my doctor.

  1. How many times have you performed this procedure?
  2. Has anyone that you performed this procedure on died do to complications during the surgery or shortly thereafter?
  3. How many band slips have occurred to patients that you have operated on?
  4. How many band erosion issues?
  5. How many patients had to have their bands removed, because of complications?
  6. What do you recommend is best for me?
  7. Do you actually perform the fills or does your nurse or PA?
  8. What is your policy on fills? Are you aggressive with fills or are you conservative with fills?

There are many more questions, but other posters will provide those to you, I am sure.

Good luck!:tongue:

Thanks, I honestly didn't think of any of those!

Thanks for the help!
