My pre-op appointment is tomorrow and I kept telling myself that I would write down questions for my Surgeon as they came up in my mind BUT I didn’t... what are some good questions I can ask at tomorrow’s appointment? I’ll be sitting with a note pad thinking about what came to mind the past couple of weeks but I’d appreciate input.

How much weight are you expected to

Oz of liquid per day? Were a couple of questions I had!

This is a good question. My pre-op is on Thursday so I will be taking notes as well!

Have you definitely decided which WLS you will be having? Be sure to discuss with your doctor both the pros and cons of each type. I thought I wanted a sleeve until the doctor warned me abut possibly having GERD with the sleeve so that made me decide for the RNY. Be sure what you want.

Thanks for the input! He clarified that for me.

I ened up asking:

-How long the procedure takes

-How long my stay will be at the hospital

-What the likelihood of developing GERD is

-Questions about the drug he prescribed for me to take the day before (i.e. what it does)

How long did they say you have to stay in the hospital? I am getting the vsg...hoping for just one night.

One night, thank God!

@doublepau Those are all good questions. My pre op appointment is on Thursday. I have a 2 hour appointment at the hospital that I will be having my procedure and a 1 hour appointment with my physician and her nurse. I’m not too sure what to expect but will have these questions and anymore I can think of before.

Ask away & clear your head !!
