Catherine,

Of course each surgeon is different my guess is that he/she will explain any pre-op diet, any risks and their philosophy on which procedure they feel is right for you.

My husband had more questions to ask than I did, but together we asked some of the following:
Pre-op diet
Post-op diets and philosophies (and believe me each surgeon is SO different here)
How he would close my incisions (staples, super glue, stitches)
Malabsorbtion and digestion questions (my husband wanted clarification on these)

Have you had any pre-op tests, like endoscopy or cardiology clearances?  I had to have an endoscopy, cardio clearance, pulmonology clearance (I have asthma).  So if you haven't had any of these he may have certain pre-op tests that he will explain.

I hope that helps.  I wish you the best on your journey to a healther you.

Every thing will go just fine, all the best on your big adventure, each day you will feel beter and beter just keep this in mind. jann

Good for you! I go in at 9:00 tomorrow morning for my surgery.

you didn't offend me at all! My comment was pure exasperation at following exactly what they said and still not losing!  I'm sorry I gave you that impression!  I do appreciate your response and think it's awesome that you've lost 19lbs!!  I will be thinking about you tomorrow and during your recovery.  Best of luck to you!!
