Telehealth that actually spends time with you?

Mine was mostly appetite and past attempts too, and like others said the "why didn't previous plans stick" question got me — worth having an honest answer ready since mine led to the plan that's actually working, down 19 lbs on it now.

#22

I went in with a mental list of past attempts and why each one fell apart, and that prep honestly shaped my whole plan — it's part of why I'm down 56 lbs now. Mine was a video call too, mostly appetite patterns and old habits. Blocked off an hour, used maybe twenty minutes of it.

#23

Wish I'd prepped like you all did — I stumbled through the "what didn't work before" part and still got a decent plan out of it, down about 15 lbs since. Seconding that it runs way shorter than the slot they give you.

#24

Mine started about ten minutes late and still ended early, so don't stress about filling the time. The thing that tripped me up was explaining why past diets fell apart, so jot down a couple honest notes beforehand. I'm only about a pound in but having a clear answer ready made the whole call feel less awkward.

#26

Mine ran about 15 minutes even though I blocked off an hour, so plan for it to be quick. I wish I'd had notes ready on why older attempts stalled, since that question caught me off guard too. Down 20 lbs since starting, and the intake felt way less intimidating than I built it up to be.

#27

Mine was maybe 10 minutes tops, mostly blood pressure questions and a quick weight history. The diet-failure question blindsided me too, so second the notes idea. I'm down 39 lbs since and honestly the hardest part was just clicking join on that first call.

#29

Mine ran longer than I expected because I mentioned a med interaction I'd read about, and the provider actually paused to talk it through instead of rushing me. Take the notes tip seriously, and ask your questions up front since some of these calls wrap fast. Down 49 lbs here, still glad I did the intake.
