First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, complete the comprehensive health questionnaire and gather any recent lab results or medical records. Avoid starting new diets or supplements two weeks prior to testing for accurate baseline measurements. Come prepared to discuss your complete health history, including medications, stress levels, and sleep patterns. Dr. McCaffrey encourages patients to bring a list of questions and be honest about previous weight loss attempts and challenges.

During treatment, success depends on following the prescribed nutrition plan consistently and attending scheduled follow-ups. Most patients find the first few weeks require some meal planning adjustments, but the center provides extensive support during this transition. Keep a food and symptom journal as requested, and don't hesitate to contact the office with questions. The more engaged you are in the process, the better your results will be.
