Question:
Is there a prepared list of questions I can choose from for my surgical consult?

I see my surgeon for the first time on August 16, 2001. I know I must have many questions in my head but when I attempt to compile a list, I draw a blank. Does anyone have ideas for good questions or is there a sample list printed somewhere on this site? Thanks so much.    — Donna L. (posted on July 4, 2001)

There are 3 real good books from amazon.com about WLS.They have lots of info. including the list that you are asking about.I have read WLS by Michelle Boasten,WlS by Barbara Thompson,and Fat No More.I would say that the fist two are the best.They also have hospital list insuance letters and much much more.I would recomend anyone considerning WLS to read at least one of them:) Hope this helps Wendy
