What will PCP need to do post-op?

I am educating my PCP about WLS. I wrote him a long (six typed pages) letter explaining why I was looking at this, my history, both health and wl and comorbidities (I figured it would be good for him to refer to when writing the "medical necessity" letter). I put my past diets and current comorbs in tables so he could locate it easily when I send him the "medical necessity" templates in a couple of weeks. I also sent him several articles (both lay and physician oriented) about WLS. I know that he knew nothing about this when I showed up on his doorstep so I thanked him for his pre-op assistance and mentioned post op monitoring. His office called and asked what kind of post op "monitoring" will be necessary. I'm not sure exactly what they will need to do but they want to know *exactly*. I don't want to leave anything out or give vague answers. can anyone help me? Thanks!
