Grammy Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sdejong Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
