I have yet to actually interview the doctors i'm considering.. and i'm wanting to pull together a pretty good interview list so i can be as informed as possible. I Know some things may be more important than others but i think it would be nice to see what everyone is asking maybe there's something i haven't thought of.. so please list your questions here. THANKS!!

Here's a few of mine:

How long have you been performing the gastric sleeve surgery?

What are your complication statistics?

What happens if complications arise? How does that work with charges?

What kind of Preop tests do you run?

How many leak tests do you do?

Have you had any issues with leaks and if so what were the circumstances?

What is your post op care?

What hospital do you operate out of?

What kind of medicine do you use during the operation and afterwards?

I'm sure i could think of a few more but i'm throwing this out here so far.

Are you having you surgery in the States?? I am looking into possible self pay if my insurance denies me. But, all the Surgeons on my area are pretty expensive so I am also looking for a good Dr. with a reasonable price.

What size bougie do you use.

Who is the anesthesiologist.

I asked my dr if he had to have this surgery, who would he choose and why

No my surgery is going to be in mexico so all the more reason for better questioning. Those are great questions cissiesue.... anyone else kindly add to the list?
