- How many of each procedure have you performed?

- What are the risks of surgery for me?

- What will my hospital stay be like?

- How frequently do your patients have to be readmitted to the hospital?

- What is the schedule for follow-up appointments?

- What will eating be like after the surgery?

- How long will it be before I can have surgery?

- If my insurance doesn't cover surgery or denies my request, do you have payment options available?

- What programs do you have in place to help me be successful long-term?
