Pre-Op Surgery Questions...what Am I Missing?

I am writing my doc and email with my list of questions because I am sure to forget something during my pre-op appt. What am I missing?

Here is what I have so far:

Per Surgery Questions-

What is your procedue to reduce the risk of blood clots?

What are other possible complications?

How long is the surgery? How many incisions will I have?

How many days will I be in the hospital?

I have read about bougie size, what size do you use? And what determines what size you use?

How long should I be out of work?

When can I start exercising after surgery?

What type of Vitamins should I take post surgery?

Will I work with Claudia for pre/post-surgery diet?

How long after surgery can I have sex?

What is your recommend what time for pregnancy after surgery? 12 months, 15 months?

Thanks!
