This is my last month of my supervised diet, with the dietitian and I will meet with my surgeon next month, could someone please help me out by giving me some question to ask him. Let me say this, the closer I get to this, it seem like I am going blank, it’s like I knew all the questions I were to ask three or four months ago and now that I am a month away I can’t remember nothing. Does that mean I am getting nerves? Because I thought I had it all together, LOL. I will appreciate any question you could think of, it just might jog my memory to help me remember mines.

Thank you, so much for your help in advance.

Singing Lord help me to remember!!!

1. post op pain: what medications are given?

2. how long you will be in the hospital?

3. how many sleeve surgery has he/she done?

4. what are the possible complications? what are his complication rates?

5. how long will you have to be out of work?

good luck.. you are making a very good decision.. the nervousness is totally natural. I had my surgery in June and I have no regrets (I did have the WTF moment after the surgery, lol)

Ask for a very specific post op diet.

Funny, my name is Gina and I also finished my 6month SWLP too this month I am waiting for insurance approval I am looking at being sleeved at the beginning of November if all is well.

Ones I didn't see listed that I think are super important are:

How does the Dr check for leaks post op?

What if anything do they do to prevent DVT's?

Good luck to you!!!

I was given a binder folder with all the information I could possible want when I visited my surgeon. Perhaps call your surgeons office and ask if they will supply you info. Good luck!

I am so excited for both of you! I think another good question is how long will you have to stay in the hospital? How long until you can lift X amount of lbs? And I second the specific diet plan. You need to know what your next steps are.
