My only advice is to bring a little notepad and write down any questions you have as you think of them ! For some reason as soon as you get in front of the doctor you will forget anything and everything you have to say. In fact, my surgeon recommended keeping a binder with copies of all the bariatric info you have. Labs, nutrition guidelines, fill dates, etc so that if you have to be seen by someone else for something they can see your history.

Oh...and walk as much as you possibly can while in, and once out of the hospital ! Good luck !
