Medical treatment guide
Preparing for your first weight-management visit
Having current medications and recent reports ready will allow your doctor to understand your condition more quickly.
During your first consultation, you should first understand your physical condition and weight loss goals, and then discuss appropriate methods together.
Just bring these things.
Identity document, health insurance card, current medicine bag or medication photos, and recent blood draw and examination reports. You can also think about: What weight loss methods have you tried in the past? What troubles you most is appetite, weight, or health problems? If you have ever used or stopped taking weight loss injections, please tell us.
Don’t miss the medicine you usually take
Diabetes drugs, insulin, oral contraceptives and health supplements all need to be understood together. History of allergies, personal or family medullary thyroid cancer, personal MEN2, and pancreatitis, gallbladder, or severe gastrointestinal disease should also be reported. If you are pregnant, preparing for pregnancy, breastfeeding, or about to undergo an anesthesia examination, please explain it first.
Do you want to have an empty stomach? Please confirm first before making arrangements.
Whether you need to fast depends on what tests are done that day. Please follow the reservation notice; if you do not receive instructions, you can inquire by phone or LINE first. Do not stop chronic disease medications on your own. If you are taking insulin or taking medicines that are prone to hypoglycemia, you should confirm in advance how you will eat and take medicines on an empty stomach on that day.
No need to decide which one you want to play first
You can first confirm the initial consultation time through the official LINE or phone. During the consultation, we will learn about the treatment course, cost and follow-up together, and then decide whether medication is needed after evaluation. It is not necessary to get injections when you come to the weight loss clinic.
In addition to weight, also tell the doctor what you want to improve
In addition to wanting to lose a few kilograms, you can also say "I want to climb stairs more easily", "I want to improve health check abnormalities" or "I want to establish a sustainable eating pattern". These goals can help physicians understand your priorities. Do not starve or exercise a lot just to look good at the initial diagnosis.
Before departure, confirm the appointment time, whether you are fasting, and bring the medicine bag and recent reports.
