The checklist I wish I’d had

Ten questions to bring to your first appointment. Check off what you want to cover.

1. Will I lose muscle along with the weight, and what can I do about it?
2. What should I eat when I’m barely hungry?
3. What side effects are common in the first weeks, and when should I call you?
4. How often will we check in, and what will we look at?
5. Should I change how I exercise?
6. How does this fit with the other medications I take?
7. Does starting at 60 change anything for me?
8. What will it cost if insurance says no?
9. What should I expect if the scale stops moving?
10. Am I expected to take this long-term? What happens if I stop?
