First Appointment Questions

My first appointment with my surgeon's office is tomorrow. I'm nervous and I can't remember any of the questions I wanted to ask. What should I expect?

Every office is different. My doc went over the surgery and what I could expect afterwards. We went over questions that I had but I asked the nutritionist most my questions. :)

Same. My doc. asked me why I decided on surgery. We went over my co-morbidities, what she thought I could expect. I asked some questions, my mom came with me, and she asked her questions. Pretty easy!

I would ask how many of these surgeries he/she has done, and what kind of complications did he have experience with. Has any of his patients had any leaks for example!
