It generally includes a review of your weight history, current health conditions and medications, family history, and goals, plus basic measurements (weight, BMI, sometimes waist circumference) and possibly bloodwork if it hasn't been done recently. The provider uses this to figure out whether a GLP-1 medication is appropriate and to rule out other explanations for weight changes. It's more of a conversation-plus-assessment than a single quick checklist.
