What can I do before the appointment to speed up the process of getting ready for obesity surgery?
Select a general practitioner if you don’t already have one, and establish a relationship with him or her. Work with your doctor to ensure that your routine health maintenance testing is current. Make a list of all the diets you have tried (a diet history) and bring it to your consultation. Bring any pertinent medical data to your appointment with the surgeon – this would include reports of special tests (echocardiogram, sleep study, etc.) or hospital discharge summary if you have been in the hospital. Bring a list of your medications with dose and schedule.
