Hi and welcome
I'm also a Derby-ite but as I had no other co-morbidities and some slots came up I was lucky enough to get done at the Nuffield in Derby.
The Derby team are (on the whole) lovely. One or two of the surgical team can be a bit 'personality-less' but the majority of them are fab. I came out from my meeting with the anaesthetist to funny looks from everyone waiting as we had shrieked with laughter all the way through. And the dieticians are lovely. They are behind you ALL the way.
Even the ladies behind receptionist in the out patients waiting area are sweet. One in particular almost jumped over the counter to give me a hug when I was told the dietician was happy to recommend me for surgery. (That could have been relief though as while my appointment was going on according to the Aztecs the world was meant to end and it hadn't).

Welcome, I am new here, but I just thought I'd share how friendly everyone is and how much fantastic knowledge there is.
It's reassuring that other people going through same and can share experiences!
I am not waiting for the NHS, and very fortunate enough that family have agreed to help me fund my operation.

Questions to ask depend on what you want to know!
You'll be in a group so they'll talk through a lot already. Others will ask questions which might prompt you. Have a pen and paper to scribble random thoughts to ask when opportunity comes.
Don't be shy - ask ask ask. It's the point of the session, to ensure you're fully informed.
Good luck. Let us know how you get on

They give you all the info not really much you can list to ask I found easier just to ask as they went along example when they discussed each type of surgery I asked which would have the best success rate and lowest mortality rate
