Meeting with Surgeon

What questions should I be asking in my last meeting before surgery? How long was the wait until the surgery date after meeting with the surgeon? Thanks in advance.

@@retrieverguy - I asked what concerned me - lack of energy (how long) and hair loss (again how long). He answered both and has been right. The energy picked up when I could eat a little better and I cut my BP meds in half. I am now down to a quarter of a pill. Hair loss is a common post surgery issue...sucks, especially for a woman :/

The surgery was scheduled at my last pre-surgery meeting (guess that's why they call it that). I was pretty set on the idea of being first one on for surgery. I didn't want to wait in pre-op. I have only had surgery once before (index finger, last summer) and I was scared then and especially have WLS. I could've had my surgery within 8 days of that appointment because I had already started my pre-surgery diet pretty much and they were happy that I had lost weight already.
