3 Month Check Up With Pcp



Recommended Posts

Hello all Self-pay/Mexico Sleevers! I am approaching my 3 month check up with my PCP and just curious if anyone has a list of things I should be asking her to check? I don't want to miss a thing!

I went through and wrote down all my questions for my check up.

  • Should I be limiting calories/carbs at this point?
  • How much exercise do you recommend I do at this weight and considering any meds I am taking?
  • What should my heart rate be during that exercise?
  • Am I taking enough/correct Vitamins and supplements? Do/Will you do a test to verify my Vitamin, Iron and cholesterol levels?
  • I have strange pain in this area. Can you check that to see if it is surgery related?
  • Is my weight loss in the expected range at this point?

Those are a few of the questions I asked at my visit. You may wish to use some of them, none of them or make up your own list. I just jotted mine down in the notebook app on my phone and went right through them.

Good luck at your visit! :)

Vitamin levels for sure. I just asked my PCP to do a full blood panel of everything just to make sure nothing was missed. And I think a barium swallow would be wise too!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
