Initial Appointment Tomorrow - What Questions Should I Ask?

(The photo really isn’t NSFW but just in case.) The last two years have been physical hell so I am finally going to a spinal surgeon to start the process of surgery. I always freeze at doctor’s office and can’t think of questions. What questions should I be asking about the surgery? Do I need to remove my septum before EOS imaging? Is it one appointment and then the surgery is scheduled, or is it a process? I have to travel 5 hours to this doctor so I don’t want to miss anything important. Thank you!
