I asked about: Hair loss, possible time I would be off work/recovery time. I would also ask what to expect in terms of realistic weight loss, eating and maintaining your weight loss... Changes in your body, sagging skin.... side effects like, what will happen if you don't take your vitamins or the importance of taking your vitamins.... hopefully others will add to this... all the best...

1. If you are having RNY, PLEASE ask him the size of your new pouch.
2. Ensure they give you a food list for various stages (i.e. clear liquids, liquids, pureed, solid)
3. How long before I can resume sexual activity?
4. Will I lose my sex drive?
5. How long do I refrain my alcohol?
6. (for women) I have severe abdominal cramps and I know we are not allowed to take NSAIDs. I would like my OBGYN nurse to work with your office so that I can be sure I am taking an approved medication for my menstrual cramps--(really, I did this and it worked wonders!)---if applicable...ask about effective birth control....my advice...make him wrap it up
7. I have dry skin, with the water intake being limited early out, can you recommend or prescribe me a cream for my skin?
