Aetna has approved me and I'm meeting with the surgeon tomorrow
If all goes well I will have surgery in June. I'm not nervous, just really excited!!
My list of questions for the surgeon is below. Am I missing any? Are there questions you wish you had asked, but didn't?
What bougie size do you use?
Do you suture over the staple line?
In your experience does biotin/zinc/protein help curb hair loss?
Do your patients usually use a PPI?
Do you do pre-op testing for H-pylori?
And a few other questions specific to my health concerns
