When I was researching a doctor, I used WASaBubbleButt's "How to Research a Doctor" to make my own list of questions. That post is in the LapBandTalk magazine section, if you want to look it up.

Here is another list that may give you ideas:

Questions to ask your surgeon

:crying: Damn it Dan now you see why some of us don't line up to answer questions.

Now I agree that Dan has the manners of a camel :rolleyes: but I also think that he answered this post fine. But we can keep spanking him anyway. Dan's just one of those guys that you love to hate. Right, Dan? LOL :scared2:

His own statements are what damned him as far as communicating with me goes. I don't hate him or love to hate him or anything of the sort. He had offended me and some others, I gathered, by being very aggressive on another post. He expressed that he doesn't get along with women. I find that type of statement to be discriminatory and just as unacceptable if a person were to say that he doesn't get along with African-Americans or Asians. It really struck me as "you people" sort of thing to say. I am glad that I learned how to block his posts because that's not what I came here for. I don't enjoy having to defend myself. I came here for support, and I had just hoped to get ready for my surgery consult without having to deal with any nonsense.

Oops, my name has been used in vain again, so I will respond.

I defy anyone to copy and paste a post of mine that where I said I don't get along with women.

What I did say was "Since the forum is predominantly women, I would probably offend a lot of you"

If your'e gonna quote me, which I love and shows that you pay attention to me and care about what I say:biggrin: just quote me right.

Okay, Dan, since you know I love to tease you, I'm game!

See the quote from you above? Now I will copy and paste a piece of the above quote where you say it: "I don't get along with women."

Okay, okay, it's taken out of context, but you defied and I complied. :thumbup:

The way I see it, we have to keep our sense of humor and not take things too seriously. Not that anyone on this board ever does. :rolleyes:

With all due respect, it does appear that you are looking to be offended to the point of insisting you will be offended one way or another. It's a choice on your part but not the best way to get people to jump in there and help you out with your questions.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
