I have an appointment on 6/15 with a PS regarding at tummy tuck and maybe a breast lift.  What questions do you recommend I ask?

Muffin gave you some good ones.

I also asked things like......are all follow up visits included in the cost?  If a revision is needed is the surgeon's fee waived?

 What's very helpful is to find pictures of patients who have similar body types as you (same amount of excess skin, breasts that look like yours) and see how those patients turned out. Ask the surgeon if they can point you to some of their similar photos. Mine pulled up 10 patients who had the same exact body type and amount of extra skin as me, and his 'after' pics were gorgeous, in all cases. 

Other questons:
-What are the most common complications you see with these procedures? How do you treat/prevent them? 
-How many times have you performed this procedure?
-What do you typically prescribe for pain management post-op? Do you have the option of getting a pain pump?
