Hey there guys! I have been looking into the band and found this site with all of your wonderful forums and information. I have been reading as many as I can and I have to say there is so much great information here! I am going to a seminar next week on the 22nd and I was wondering if there were any questions that I should ask. There are of course the obvious ones but I am looking for the questions that arent so obvious to someone that has not been banded yet. Anything you could suggest would be wonderful! Thanks for your time!

I would ask how many lap band surgeries the doctor has done. What his complication rates are. Ask if they have emergeny hours for patients (for unfills if too tight). Those are a couple of questions that I would have asked. Thankfully my doctor is very experienced, has low complication rates, and has emergency hours (although they cost extra). I am sure that there are other more important questions that I haven't thought of at the moment. Good luck to you!

I am not banded yet but found this list and plan on using it to converse with my surgeon I think it is very thorough.
