You can and should do some research on your own. The Obesity Help website is a good place to start. I also have a list of question on my blog (look in the archives) to ask a surgeon (and I did ask all of them, although I didn’t get answers).
You also need to find out if your insurance company will pay (unless you have $20kor so to blow) and how you have to qualify.
What is the costs and will your insurance pay for it.
What is his success rate and death rate is.
Will it increase or decease your life.
What are the different types of surgery.
Where was he trained.
