I wish I had asked my surgeon

[Lady Lap Band 71]

What?

I am going to see my surgeon on Tuesday that will be 10 days prior to my surgery which will be my last chance to ask him any questions. I am not good at thinking of questions....the only one I can come up with is "Where are you going to put my port?" So can you all help me out with questions you wish you thought to ask now before you were banded?

Thanks!

What questions have you ask him so far?

[Cleo's Mom 257]

1) What band are you going to use? Will there be any fill in it right after surgery?

2) How can I reach you outside of normal office hours?

3) What will my fill schedule be like?

4) What are your expectations for my weight loss?

5) Do you use a numbing agent before fills?

6) Do you require fills under x-rays?

Hi, I was just wondering: if the 4th fill did the trick, why did you get a 5th? Also how do you know when you have reached your sweet spot? I was banded on Jan. 21, 2009. I've had three fills, but don't think I'm quite there yet. I sometimes get that very uncomfortable feeling. I hope that's not it. Thanks, Chloe
