What questions should I ask my doctor about Lapband?

My doctor suggested I try the Lapband surgery. Tomorrow, I will make an appointment to meet with the nutritionist. I have a little over 100 pounds to lose and like everyone else I've read about, I'm having difficulty losing the weight and keeping it OFF. What questions should I ask? I want to make sure I cover everything. Thanks in advance!!

    I would ask him/her what are there procedures are when they put the band in. What type of bands are they using? Ask about your Meds that you are taking and if you have to change any after surgery. How long it will take him to get stuff in for the insurance company? Diet plans for the 1st 6 weeks after surgery, what you can and canot do.

    I hope that this helps you out.
