I'm back with more newbie questions....I have my Nutrionist/NP appointment in a few weeks. I've been pulling together all of my medical records but I'm a little confused.

NYU askes fo rhte following:

• Records of a complete physical from your physician, including standard blood test (CBC, comprehensive metabolic, liver test, and TSH)
  
• Medical history and physical from your primary care physician, including any co-morbidities (e.g., diabetes, high blood pressure)
  

I just had my annual physical (but with a new PCP -- my old one wasn't covered on my insurance) this week. I have copies of the results of my blood tests, pulmonary tests and EKG. However, I'm not quite sure what the difference is between items 1 and 2 on the list. Is this just a copy of my chart? Should I reach out to my old PCP and get my medical records as well?

Sorry to be so dense -- I just don't want to show up at my consult and waste everybody's time by not having my paperwork in order.

Here's the info....

Everyone is welcome to attend! Please don't be shy -- none of us know each other in real life, so it will be a great opportunity to make new friends.

Barb12590, I feel your pain about the NYU office administration (See my post "frustrated with NYU". In fact, I spoke to Marianne this week as well. Got many "I'm so sorrys" but not much more. My surgery is set for July 1 and I just found out today--6/27--that I was approved. Apparently my paperwork was not submitted until 6/24. One week before my surgery date --even though I had submitted everything to the office by May 30th. I told Marianne that the office staff is dragging down the reputation of the program. Good luck to you.

kristen, I am def interested in a NYC area get together. Im not a NYU bandster though.

You don't have to be an NYU bandster -- everyone is welcome!! I hope you join us -- it will be awesome to have you there.

Did you have a get together today? Sorry I couldn't join you but I had plans. If you plan another, post the time and place and will try to join you next time. So, I going forward on July 1st. Nervous but excited too.

I've been at the same weight since moving on to the mushie stage. Am I supposed to have lost a lot more weight? I haven't had a fill and I have zero restriction. I'm so confused on this for some reason. Has anyone not had a fill experiencing the same thing? Am I going to get a lecture when I go in for my fill next week? :thumbup:
