My big appt. tomorrow-what to bring?

Ok, so I have a diagram of my surgery, since I have been unsuccessful at getting my surgical records yet (I'm going to send my request in writing certified, return receipt requested, and if he doesn't comply with that, I will report him to the Nevada Board of Medical Examiners). I am also bringing a food diary, so the surgeon can see what I've been eating, the names and phone numbers of my PCP and original surgeon, and my weight loss history in chart and graph form. They already have 45 pages of records from my PCP, including my hospital stay records and test results. Is there anything else I'm forgetting? I really need to make my case to this new surgeon. I'm really counting on getting some kind of answer tomorrow and I don't want to overlook anything.

I'm sure this is all documented in your paperwork but you might want to pull out exact dates of when the bad stuff started happening just so they don't have to dig through all those pages to find specific stuff. Other than that it sounds like you've gotten pretty much everything you need. Good luck sweetie!! We're all pulling for you. Corinna Q

I think you pretty much have it covered.... Sounds like you are well armed and very prepared... I hope you get some results from this new doctor and he sees how much you need some help... Keep us posted.... Good Luck tomorrow... Shawn M.
