How can I make each visit count?
Be sure
to ask any questions and share any concerns you have about
your health risk and/or progress. To make sure you address
them all, jot them down on paper beforehand and bring them
to the examining room. (See “Notes and Questions for My
Physician” in Appendix X.)
Don’t be afraid to seek positive comments about your
progress. Don’t be shy about requesting recognition of the
success you have had losing weight or preventing further
weight gain! Your doctor is your partner, and you should
help him or her give you the encouragement and support you
may need and
deserve.
