Step ONe: Breathe
Step Two: Just make a list of questions and ask whatever you want. You are paying him some good money...so he can take time to put you at ease.
:)
ditto to what amy said! and there is NOTHING that you shouldn't say or ask (excuse the double negative LOL) remember there is no dumb question, it is YOUR body :-)
i went to my 1st appt armed with a loooong list of questions, 99.9% of which i didn't have to ask because they covered them :-)
oooo Exciting!
I would ask if he has you stay overnight or if you can go home the same day. How he handles fill procedures - aggressive or not?, under fluro ?, how often?.
Good luck!
I didn't ask any questions when I went to that appointment.. I had a bunch in my mind..but like Carmen said..he covered most of them for me. Just relax and enjoy the ride! :)
Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!
Since I just had the first appointment....It was more detail about what he covered in the seminar, my dieting history, my family history. I also met with the nutritionist that same time.
Enjoy the journey!!
Yeah when I went for my consultation we had a group of people being banded around the same time and it was like a group Q & A meeting and then the good ol' doc came in and explained the technical side of the band and what he expected. It was very informative and I didn't have any questions when it was done.
It's no biggy! Just enjoy the ride!
I wish I had found these blogs before I had my initial appointment - there are so many more questions I would haver asked. Didn't even think to ask about what Jennifer mentioned above regarding fills. I'd also ask if he does a fill right at surgery. It seems some do and some don't.
I agree with everyone else. You're paying then a lot of your hard earned money, make sure they answer your questions. No question is a stupid question. My office is really great about that. They even gave me the hospital number incase I have any questions after hours and they have a bariatric surgeon on call at all times to answer any questions o in the event of an emergency.
Glad I read your post. My first appointment with the surgeon is this week too. :o)
