Keep a list of surgeries and the current medications (even aspirin) and put this list in your wallet. Update it when needed, and you'll make the doctors job much easier and more accurate for the doctor. Don't even leave out vitamins you're taking.

I keep my insurance related cards in an envelope in my purse along with an index card with all vital info on me: name, address, phone number, doctor's name and number, family emergency numbers, list of my medical problems, and list of current medications taken daily and prescriptions (taken as needed), and hospital preference. This has come in handy in emergencies and when at a new doctors office when I have had to fill out initial information sheet.
