If you have questions for the surgeon I would right them down. By the time you're actually in the consultation you might forget some.

Well with my INS I have to do a 6 mos pre-op diet, so I was very disappointed to hear that, he told I make his job easy because I didn't have high blood pressure etc. The only thing that I have to get is an upper G I to check if I have an hernia. Gave me my paper work to schedule my diet and exercise class, nutrionist and psychologist. So I've trying to get everything schedule NOW because I don't want no last minute surprises when I do get a surgery date. So Good Luck with your dr appt tomorrow and plzs let me know how it goes!!!!!!!!

My appt. went great! I also have to do 6mths preop diet, and a lot of other testing. EKG,Barium swallow, EGD, Chest xray, Blood work, and nutrition and pyshc evals. Lots to do in the next 4 months.

I started my diet in June. Only lost 2 lbs so far.
