I got the basics (recovery, my health, family health)

But what are some of the important questions you asked at your visit? I'm drawing a complete blank right now!!!!

i asked my surgeon, is this right for me?

Also ask if you will be given any fill during surgery, if not what should you expect post surgery. When will your first follow up be, how often after that. Also, what requirements does your surgeon have pre-surgery (diet, other requirements, etc.).

When and how often can I get fills?

How long are they free?

What is your protocol for giving fills? Do you slowly take your patients to restriction? Tell me your philosophy?(This is a tough one since you have no idea what to expect)

What are your post op diet requirements? How soon can I eat soft foods?

What are your post fill requirements? How many days liquids and soft foods?

Is there access to a dietician post surgery and does it cost?

How many surgeries have you performed? 500+ would be nice.
