Pre-Op Appt. with Surgeon TONIGHT! What questions should I ask?

My surgery is this FRIDAY!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o :o :o

Pre-op Appointment with my surgeon is this evening. I feel like I have done so much research and already talked to my Nurse so I think I'm pretty well informed.

Are there any questions I should be sure to ask tonight?

    anything and everything that comes to mind, What type of surgery do they recommend and why, what is the failure rate, how much support do they give after the surgery, what would he recommend for you as a goal weight, whats required prior to surgery, medical tests, blood work, etc.

    seriously be afraid of no question,

    I'm following I have my surgery scheduled for the 31 of this month and have had my first pre op as my surgeon has two. I have my second scheduled for the 26th. I'm also trying to get some ideas on what I can jot down to ask him?!!?

    So my appointment took all of 5 minutes. He went over my pre-op test results and said everything looks good, told me surgery would be about 45 minutes and said I was going to do great. Then I got my prescriptions and that was it.
