History & Physical Today. What Should I Expect?

I have my first medical appointment for history and physical later today. I was wondering what I should expect? and do I need to bring my food diary to this appointment or just to my first NUT appointment? Thanks!

I think it varies a little everywhere, but at my surgeon's office they did not want to see my food diary. I met with the nurse first to take history, blood pressure, pulse, etc. Then the surgeon came in and did a basic physical (listening to stomach, poking and prodding) and talked in detail about surgery options. After that I met with the dietician, who did an H. Pylori test and tested my metabolic rate. After doing the metabolic rate test, she and I discussed a diet plan and how I should eat while getting ready for surgery. Then I met with their insurance specialist, who went over all the requirements for my insurance company and explained what I should do to meet each step.

If they haven't told you about the H. Pylori tests and metabolic rate tests, I doubt you will do them -- at least for the H. Pylori there is a fasting requirement you would need to know about in advance.

Oh and they also drew blood to check for vitamin and mineral deficiencies as well as blood sugar etc.
