Question:
What questions should I ask my surgeon?

I go to see Dr. Chacko in Portsmouth tomorrow to get my initial consult for getting the surgery. What I am wondering is this. What sort of questions should I ask him about the surgery? I thought I saw a list of questions to ask somewhere, but I don't remember off the top of my head exactly. I have done extensive research on ObesityHelp on things, but I want to see what his take is on things. Also, has anyone had him as a surgeon? Please help me, my AMOS family! *hug* *<|:0)    — Lisa S.

Take a look at WLS Deb's profile page. She has links to all kinds of stuff, but one link is to a list of questions to ask at your initial visit. :) Good luck!

Here is a link to a page that has all the questions you could ever think of when you meet your surgeon. I have passed it along to many and they all love it. GOOD LUCK! http://www.lvcm.com/njtomato/pre-op.htm
