Grammy Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 I am scheduled for my first Dr appointment tomorrow and I am a bit nervous. My primary care Dr wrote a letter recommending me for the surgery. What kind of questions do I ask the Dr? What is he sees no need in me having the surgery? I am 5"9" and I weigh 292 lbs and my BMI is 41 or 42. I have to say that I am so nervous. There have been several people that I work with that have had the surgery and the insurance has paid for it. :lb18:
Guest sdejong Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Don't worry about the doctor thinking you won't need the surgery, I think we all go through this. Dr. Ortiz/Martinez were amazing, I felt like I could just talk to them. Do the same with your doctor. Best luck.... Who is your Doctor? I would ask what type/size of band he thinks he will use. Ask about the Pre-opt/ Post-opt diets. Ask about fill management. Ask about aftercare.
