I am having a pre-op appointment with my surgeon on Thursday. I am scheduled to have a partial glossectomy (hopefully closed with sutures) and removal of lymph nodes on the R side of my neck.

For folks that have been through this, what are some questions that I should ask the surgeon that I might not think of?

Thanks for your help!
