What's on This Template
Pre-Appointment Checklist
Everything to gather before you go — current medications, medical history, family history, insurance info, and your full weight management history.
Questions to Ask
Eight pre-written questions covering the medication, side effects, safety, and cost — plus four blank lines for your own. No more blanking out mid-appointment.
Conversation Starters
Three ready-to-use opening lines so you don't have to figure out how to bring it up. Frame it around your health — not just the number on the scale.
Doctor's Notes Section
Space to capture what your provider says during the visit — next steps, lab orders, recommendations. Write it down while you're still in the room.
I'll be honest — I was nervous about bringing it up with my own provider. Even as a paramedic, even knowing the medicine behind it, there was still that moment of "are they going to judge me?" They didn't. It was a straightforward, professional conversation. But I also went in prepared — I had my medical history organized, I knew what questions I wanted to ask, and I framed it around my health concerns, not just the number on the scale. That preparation made all the difference.
How to Use This Template

- 2 Work through the left column the night before your appointment. Gather your medications list, medical history, and think about what you've already tried.
- 3 Review the questions on the right and add your own. Write down your #1 health concern — that's your opening.
