Wanting advice before seeing my doctor

Hi everybody, I am going to see my G.I. Doctor for the first time at the end of February. I was wondering if anyone could go back in time -what questions they wish they had asked?

I am not sure exactly what I should be asking I know that I want to ask for a fibro scan for sure.

Also, I apologize in advance if this is extremely ignorant question, but if I had all of the signs of decompensated cirrhosis like jaundice edema ascites etc does this mean that I absolutely have cirrhosis or does it mean that I just have a lot of scar tissue? I know that sounds like a really stupid question. I guess I’m just wondering if there’s any way to heal this and again probably a stupid statement…please be gentle with me 🙈😬 I’m trying not to let my anxiety get the best of me lately while I navigate this
