During your initial consultation, Dr. Wooten will inquire about your general physical and mental health status, pre-existing health conditions, prior surgeries, your medications, allergies, and smoking habits.

Relevant questions include:

• The most you have weighed
• The least you have weighed
• The stability of your weight within the last year
• Your level of success with various diets
• Number of pregnancies
• A detailed history of current medical and psychological problems, e.g. heart disease, diabetes, a history of thromboembolic disease, connective tissue disorders, and wound healing problems

It is important that you be thorough when providing the requested information as this will allow Dr. Wooten to proactively address any medical concerns. When asked about medications, be sure to include any diet pills, vitamin, or herbal preparations since some vitamins and herbal medications can affect your blood pressure and clotting ability. Honesty regarding your smoking and alcohol use is also very important, as these will have a profound impact on your recovery period and your ability to heal.

After reviewing your medical history, Dr. Wooten will discuss your concerns, priorities and will subsequently provide you with information on different options and  explain the advantages and disadvantages of the procedures to you.
