 have my pre-op appt tomorrow morning early and am making a list of questions to ask the surgeon. This will be the last time I see him until my surgery.
Can you think of any key questions I should ask? I mean ones that vary according to different surgeons.

I had so many questions and now that I am trying to write them down I can't think of them!!
Your help would be appreciated!!!!

I posted this on the RNY board but would like to see your answers too:) You guys are sometimes much more down to earth and cheerful than the main boards:)

Yes ! Do copy! lolSo far I have:
How often do YOU convert to open when you are doing LAP RNY? What are the typical reasons and percentage of time you have to convert?

When can I start my vitamins again and is my list correct of
B12 1x daily
Multi 2x daily
325mg iron (rx) 1x daily
1000mcg biotin 1x daily
citrical petites 3x daily

Do I need an additional D3?

My surgeon says we have to crush everything for 6 months.. So I want to ask if I can crush and combine two pills at once or do they have to be taken separately

uhm thats all I have right now... I suddenly became blank when it came time to write the questions down lol

Hi the vitamins I take are called Optisource and everything is combined in that one vitamin, you take it 4 times a day. That just what my surgeon reccommends.
