I am so nervous so I'm not thinking correctly LOL I want to go in there with questions, what sort of things should I be asking him? Sorry if this is a silly request ????

Hi @@nbateman06 its not a silly question! When I first met with my surgeon I asked him how many procedures he's done of the bypass and sleeve, what types of complications are common with each one, how often had he had to switch from lapriscopic to open during surgery, which surgery he recommended for me and why, how long he had been doing the surgery, the success rate for his patients with each type, and the mortality rate. I also asked how the sugary would affect me in the future from absorption of medications if I got really ill. I hope this helps to give you a starting point! All the best to you!
