Guelph Surgeons appt- what happens?
Hi, the surgeon will go over the reasons why you have chosen this surgery. He will also ask some health questions and before the appointment you will be weighed. My surgeon went over the reasons why he felt I should have the surgery and them proceeded to go through the surgical procedure itself. I ended up with the VSG and he went over both types of surgery ...he may only go over the one surgery if he plans the RNY for you.
Best of luck
When I had my appointment I got weighed, went through want was going to happen (RNY) and she felt my tummy... not sure why.
Mostly I just listened... I did ask about the staples if I was safe to have an MRI and if I would set off metal detectors at the air port (the answer was MRI safe and no I won't set off metal detectors).
She gave me the date and that was about it.
I bought my opti via credit card and set up more appointments for after surgery.
I wish I would have brought my support aka mom to this appointment I think it would have benefited her more (I had already researched RNY to death). I showed her the sugery video on youtube after the fact... she found it very interesting.
Good luck!!
