I have a referral for a consult and I don't even know what questions I should ask. I am 4'11 and 205 pounds. BMI over 40. I am quite sure I am a good candidate but not sure where to start. I need suggestions on what to ask the Dr and what I should look for at 1st appointment.

I'm really a newbie!

Thanks for your help.

from ND, where I really saw snowflakes this morning...dang

You should ask the doctor about his experience (how many bands, how many other surgeries) and complication rates and what he considered to be a "success" and what % of his patients are a success.
