March 20, 201214 yr I just had my first appointment. I had already pretty much decided on the sleeve, and I had done a lot of research on the sleeve already, so my questions were more surgeon specific. I asked... How many sleeve operations they had done. What their complication rate was. What type of complications do they see? What percentage weight loss do they average? I asked a bunch of questions about removal of my lap band and complications...that's just me. Do they use a drain after surgery? How long would my hospital stay be? What pre-op testing do they do? We discussed an IVC filter in detail because I have to get one before surgery. I can't remember what else. I was very confident in my surgeon's answers. He knows his stuff. I think the whole appointment lasted about a half hour or 45 minutes.
How long will it be
