How do I prepare for my appointment?

Organize Your Documents:

Ensure you have a list of all medications and supplements you are currently taking. Keep these items easily accessible to provide to your healthcare team.

Compile Your Questions:

Take some time to think about any questions or concerns you may have regarding your health, weight, or upcoming procedures. Writing them down beforehand can help ensure you address everything during your appointment.

Complete Patient Intake Form:

Fill out the patient intake form thoroughly before your visit. This form provides valuable information about your health and diet history, enabling your healthcare team to better understand your needs. Remember to send the completed form to the team ahead of time and bring a copy with you to the appointment.

Prepare for Physical Assessment:

Anticipate that your healthcare team will conduct a physical assessment, which may include measurements such as height, weight, and blood pressure. Dress comfortably and be ready to participate in the assessment.

Review Health History:

Reflect on your health history, including past surgeries and any changes in your medications or supplements. Being informed about your own medical background will help facilitate discussions with your healthcare providers.

Clarify Your Goals and Concerns:

Think about your personal health goals and any concerns you have related to your weight and overall well-being. Communicate these goals and concerns clearly to your healthcare team during your appointment.
