• Very nice, but I was confused by his comments about my weight being too low with no direction about what it should be. He also quoted an BMI that was not consistent with the score that I am getting, so that was confusing. Mention of me going off a GLP1 were very confusing, given that it has benefits related to potential stroke and heart issues, both of which are part of my PMH. I plan to revisit this in a year, but I wondered if had familiarized himself with my PMH before the appointment.
