What questions to ask for consultation

[momamia 1]

I am scheduled for my consultation next Friday and I'm need some suggestions of what questions I should ask. I really don't know what to expect and would love some suggestions on things I need to cover with him.

Honestly, when I went for mine they actually covered all my questions before I asked them and more. Random little things like I probably won't be able to eat apple skin afterwards. As for questions you can ask maybe whether they use stiches, glue or staples to close you up? I never asked mine that because it didn't occur to me and now I'm paranoid I'm going to get staples lol. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Hi Momamia,

During my first visit with my Dr., I could not think of any questions that he didn't cover. But it's been a few weeks now and I go back on Tuesday. I sat down and thought about a typical day...and whatever questions popped into my head, I wrote down. I will ask these next week:

- I rely on Fiber for regularity. Will I still be able to take a Fiber supplement? What is suggested?

- Regarding clothing - how long do u think it will be before I can be comfortable wearing button/zipper slacks, etc?

- Considering the time of my surgery (7:30am) will I still need to spend the night?

- Since I am Catholic, can I start taking the host once I am able to eat mushy foods (like in Phase II) or do I need to wait until I can handle solids?

These are just a few that I came up with. If you think about your day-to-day routines, you will probably come up with more! Good luck!!
