Survive-ability appointment?

Has anyone had one of these? I am scheduled for one and I am wondering if it is worth the time? I will ask my doctor if it is really necessary or just one of those things they schedule after a first year?

Hello Tracey,
I haven't had the appointment yet (October 14). I think it might just be an automatic appointment after a person reaches the one-year mark. From what I have been told by a couple of the nurses, it will be about what a person might expect in Year Two and after. Also, about turning some of my health back to my primary care physician who I haven't seen in about 18 months.
