Default Is there a post with questions I should ask the doctor?

Hi everyone, tomorrow if my first official visit with the doctor and didn't know if there has been a post of things I should ask.
i know:
What is your mortality rate.
How many surgeries have you performed..
but what else?

Thanks! Mindy

You should also ask about what different kinds of WLS they have done? Plus if you want an Lap RNY you should find out if they have experience doing the RNY Lap and if so how many laps have they done?
