Making a list... checking it 75,925 times!

Hey all! So, mandatory "I'm new" greetings to you all! *waves* I'm not very experienced with using forums, and I'm very early in the research phase. Sorry in advanced if I say/ask something silly >.<

Wasn't exactly sure where this goes, so I just plopped it here.

I am making a list of doctors I'm considering (while I am looking to doctors in Mexico, I figured it's a decent question regardless of location. Maybe?). My plan is to write out certain characteristics/stats/etc and then how different doctors compare in each category. If that makes sense...

To the question!

What would you consider to be the most important things to ask a doctor before you proceed with him/her? Things like: number of fatalities (if any), instances of infection/complications, bougie size, etc.

Research is a bit overwhelming, but I'm trying my best to at least say I made the best decision with what I have.

I like lists, graphs, and charts. :) And oxford commas.

Thanks!

If you show signs of severe acid reflux (Gerd), RNY gastric surgery may be a better option than sleeve surgery, because sleeve surgery tends to make this condition worse. Several individuals had to have their sleeves revised to gastric bypass after they showed began experience significant problems with Gerd after surgery.

In my case, I felt that if was going under the knife once I absolutely didn't want to go under a second time. Once is enough for me.
