I'm sitting here now trying to create a list as well. My appointment is in 10 days. So far all I have is:

how long is the procedure. complications during and after.

healing time.

if my smoking is an issue.

His mortality rate.

How long will I be in hospital.

What do post op appt consist of.

Do I really have to do 6 months of evaluation.

That's all I have as of now. Hoping to see others replies in case I'm missing something important.

Not sure if your name reflects the year of your marriage. You may want to ask about pregnancy after your surgery. I have no intention of any more kids. 3 teenage boys are plenty for me lol.

My doctor requires quitting smoking at least 30 days prior to surgery or he won't do it. The test during the pre-op panels and will straight up cancel the surgery.

My husband eats anything he wants and is slim too. I have always cooked though. I have 2 littles and my husband and I am 2 days post op. So far I haven't had a problem cookimg for them, but once I am able to eat again I plan to cook what I need and add more for them to ballance out the meal. Following to see what others have to say too.

So surgery is set for June 1st. Had all my preop tests done on Friday. Got clearance from my PCP & a pulmonologist I had to find at the last minute (because I don't go to one nor has my surgeon mentioned one until last week). Now I get an email asking if I did my upper endoscopy - no I didn't. More than likely forgot all about it didn't know it was necessary. Well if I don't get that done before the 1st then my surgery will be rescheduled a few months from now!! I'll admit I honestly didn't remember about it but noone reminded 3 weeks ago when I was in the office for my preop appointment?! So now if it can't be done (not looking good right now) I have to rearrange alot & go thru this crap all over again. Don't know what to do...just frustrated

I had everything scheduled and I was supposed to be done with all my pre-op on 5/3 and my insurance got messed up and cancelled in error. Sooooo after the doctor's office cancelled several appointments I had to fight to get it fixed and now I will be done with all my pre-op on 6/15.....They won't even schedule my surgery till then so it sounds like I won't have surgery till August or September.... I completely get your frustration. I have been working for this since last December
