I have my preop tomorrow for my corset-trunkplasty and hysterectomy, and thigh lipo.  What questions should  I ask?  Anything would be helpful.

Pre-op stuff ..... I had to have some blood work and a few appointments
My doc has his patients eat pineapple to help with swelling and bruising

Day of surgery ...... In-patient or outpatient? Length of procedure, type of anesthesia,

What to you need at home? Recliner? Stocked fridge and pantry, help, etc

Post-op ..... How long off work? What type of follow up care
What if you are not pleased with your results?

What % of their patients need revisions?
How much skin do they ink they will remove?

With revisions being common, ask if the cover revisions. Most do but patient is usually responsible for anestesia.

Also. are all your post op appointmenes covered, supplies, binders.
