Good luck today, and I think the obvious questions are good for now. Once he explains better, you can always come on here again and ask the community some questions, and the doc is not going anywhere so you will be able to follow up with any more questions you have at a later date. Try not to stress to much about it, you have time to formulate a plan and we are all here to help alongside your Doc.

I found it helpful to do exactly what you are doing. First, write down the questions you want to ask. It's easy to get confused once the doctor starts talking because the conversation will often take a different path than you expected. Which is fine, but be sure to circle back and get your questions answered.

I also kept all my lab reports and paperwork in a file and brought it with me to every appointment just in case I needed it.

You mentioned in another post that you already have a list of meds you are taking, which is good.

Just make sure you understand what treatment the doctor is proposing, and what your obligations are to get it approved by your insurance company. Your doctor should be your advocate and push for approval for you.

No one is born knowing all of this, and my GI even made a mistake and would not believe me when I told him he was wrong. So don't be afraid to ask questions on here, or with your doctor. Remember, this is your body, and your treatment.

Good luck.

As others have said you got it down. try not to overwhelm yourself. You will have other chances to ask the questions you missed.

Good luck and God bless!
