Seminar questions

Tomorrow I am going to the seminar. What questions should I ask? Will I be able to ask questions? What should I expect to see and how long should I expect to be there?:)

Well, simply - ask whatever you want to know. But, I'm thinking you probably wanted to know what other people have asked/have wanted to ask. The surgery itself has quite a lot of literature published online, and the bands are pretty much the same, again with lots of info online. So, the real thing you should try to figure out during the seminar is about the center & surgeons.

Some thing I think are important to know:

1) How many surgeries have the surgeons done

2) What type of short-term after care is provided (and are their additional costs)

3) What type of long-term after care is provided (and are their additional costs)

4) What is something goes wrong? (and that includes everything from before the surgery, day of surgery, and after surgery). Who will take care of it? and what are the costs?

5) *always important* What are their adjustment policies. Do they charge for fills/unfills? Who does them? Where can they be done? Do they offer a guarantee (for instance, most places will give you a fill for a cost, and will then include 2 weeks of fills/unfills if need be).

Otherwise, I think it's good just to get a feeling about the organization. I really liked the surgeon who presented, and ended up choosing him to be my surgeon just because I really liked his attitude.

As for what to expect. I think we had about an hour long presentation about the surgery and about the center. And then there was a guest who was a bandster of theirs. And then he opened the floor for questions.

Hope this helped - good luck!
