Weight-management review: questions to take with you
A useful conversation starts with the thing you want help with. Choose a topic, pick two or three questions and take them to your GP or treating service.
You can use this whether you are exploring support, receiving treatment elsewhere, or thinking about what happens afterwards.
What would you like to discuss?
Choose one group or keep all the questions. You do not need to answer them on this website.
All four question groups are shown below.
Starting the conversation
You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis or a preferred treatment.
- What support could fit my health, work and family life?
- Which NHS or local services can I access, and how do I get referred?
- What other options can we discuss if a medicine is unsuitable or unavailable?
Understanding progress
Bring the pattern you have noticed, including things that have become easier or harder.
- Which readings and time period would be useful to compare?
- What else should we consider alongside weight, such as everyday function or wellbeing?
- What is one realistic change to try, and when should we review it?
Making treatment questions clear
Use the name and formulation on your own medicine label. A checklist cannot decide whether a symptom is safe to wait out.
- Could my medicines, symptoms or another health issue need a review?
- Which symptoms need urgent help, and which contact route should I use?
- What should I do if treatment is interrupted, or I cannot manage eating or drinking?
Leaving with a clear next step
Ask for instructions you can find again, including who is responsible for follow-up.
- Who is responsible for my next review, and when should it happen?
- If treatment changes or stops, what support will continue and who provides it?
- What costs, tests or repeat appointments should I understand, and what should I do if I cannot reach the service?
