Hello OBH,

I have a consultation with my surgeon tomorrow and am excited and scared all at the same time and can't seem to gather all of the questions I need to ask?   I haven't completely decided on which surgery, but leaning towards the RNY.  The other two of interest are the Doudenal Switch, and the Sleeve Gastrectomy.  Any suggestions!

Ask your surgeon whick surgery will work best for you with your other health problems if you have any.  Each decision for surgery is individual.

Things to think about possible dumping, differing vitamin needs, time off from work, dietary restrictions.  Fills of balloon if having a lap band.  Are you going to be able to exercise to help with the weight loss. 

Write down any questions you have, it is great to go with a list of questions.  I am forever forgetting what I want to as****il after I leave the MD office.  I usually bring a list of questions for all my visits, wls and general visits.Best of luck with your visit.  Come share what you learned after the appt.
