Question For The Doctor

Hey, I get to meet my doctor on Wed .  I have some question for him. Can anyone give me questions that I should ask  like some that you did ask and some you wished you would have asked. I had my appointment with the nutritionist  and  I liked it.  My pouch is going to start out the size of a ping pong ball, then it will get to the size of a tennis ball.  I have to do  liquids for a week before my  surgery datelol. They said it is because they want to shrink my liver.  I hope I get a date that is soon. 

Some of these are specific questions if you're seeking the DS but you can substitute and modify as needed. Link: www.dsfacts.com/Questions-To-Ask-Your-Surgeon.html

We had to attend so many training sessions, I didn't have many questions that needed to be answered.  You may want to know if you will have a drain, what your diet progression will be, how long in the hospital is normal, what about gall bladder (some Drs take them out while they are in there), what labs will be done before surgery and how frequently afterwards.

Hope you have a great meeting.

You may want to discuss the medication you'll receive upon discharge from the hospital--specifically your pain medication.
