what do I take with me???

what do I need to take with me on my first consult my doc s name is Dr. Maher.If any one knows please post before Friday

I don't know about Dr. Maher, but I would suggest having all your medical info written down. Like ALL diet history. (even just something you tried on your won that doesn't have a Name) And every little problem that could be weight related. (heel spurs, any back pain, leg pain, etc.) And a family history of weight related problems. Hope this helps and hopefully someone else will have other suggestions. Elizabeth

I would add one thing to Elizabeth's list- the fact that you have already contacted the ins co and their response. I called them and bugged them until they told me their exact criteria and who decides and how. You may get the run-around at first and a generic response, but if you pursue it, they should be able to tell you what is written in their policy book word for word. That way you know where you stand and what kind of info they will need. It speeds up the process a lot. Good luck! Michelle

Bobbi, Good luck with you surgery. I know how excited you must be. My surgery is Sept 2. It has consume my every thought this week. I am not much help about what to take considering I am in the same boat with you. But I can't wait to until we are on the other side and can share our experience with each other. So Good luck and see you on the other side. I can't wait to be a loser. How about you?
