First Consult today..What questiosn to ask?

Hi all,

I have been to the seminar but wanted to sit down with the surgeon today before I "start" the process as my husband still has questions ( me too ). Are there any questions that I definelty should ask? Were there any questions you wish you had asked at your consult? I am nervous and want to make sure I cover all questions.

Thanks

:bored:
