They will explain the surgery. There may be a physical exam where they check your abdomen. I remember him asking me a lot of questions and I couldn't think of one to ask him.

I lost 100% of my excess weight.
Currently re-comping body/losing vanity pounds prior to plastics.
I was schedule to meet Dr. Urbach too. I ended up meeting with his fellow instead and then day of surgery I ended up with Dr. Okrainec who promptly left on vacation after my surgery, so I had follow ups while in hospital with Dr. Jackson.
I just need Dr. Penner to round out the set!! Lol
They are all great, you'll be in good hands whomever you get.

Congrats! Yep, credit card is for your Optifast.
I asked what the symptoms of an obstruction feel like. But the surgeon was very thorough. Went through my medical history, medications and vitamins/supplements, asked specific medical questions, and went through the surgery and possible complications in detail. I wasn't examined physically, but he did take a look at my neck with my head tilted back.
My anesthesiologist appointment was on a different day, I think every center is different that way.
