In a week I will see a Doctor that felt that I was not worth his time because I was fat and obviously did not care about myself.....He never said that straight out but the comments that he made showed he had no interest in helping obese people....I kept pointing it out to my hubby but he could not see it..Until the time for surgery came and the Doctor did not want to do the procedure...He wanted me to stay on dangerous medication for the rest of my life....

I know he won't know me...but I know him....It really will be interesting how it goes this time :angry:

Ummm, I find myself curious as to why you would return to a doc that you know doesn't really care about the patients..

At any rate, I hope that your appointment goes well and you get what you need from it.

I am returning so that he can fix whatever is wrong with me now...When you get a Doctor in Canada unless he/she has killed someone with a shotgun you keep them...Okay a bit of an exasperation...lol.... .Doctors are rare here. We can't just drop them willy nilly...Our system is different here then in the States...We don't have tons and tons of Doctors.....I have not seen him since 2006....My GP said I had to see him...He is an ass but he is the best at what he does here....So splitting hairs....Yes it is not my idea of a good time...but I have no choice but to see him......

Yikes... I'm sorry. That sounds like it sucks. Thanks for explaining that to me. It didn't even occur to me that you might be working within a completely different system than what I'm accustomed to. Some of our systems are less than ideal as well. I've spent more than a decade in our military health system. You pretty much get whoever you are assigned, which appears to be similar to what you are dealing with, but they get reassigned so often that you never have an opportunity to build any kind of relationship. It's good when you get a crappy one, but sucks when you finally get one that treats you with respect. Fortunately, I have the option of getting private insurance through my employer. I had to give up $500 a month in health reimbursement account contributions to do it, but I get to make my own choices now, so I feel like it's worth every penny.

Best of luck!

My ex husband only introduced me to SOME of his friends because he was embarrassed of my weight. We've been divorced for more than 10 Years (and I have a great hubby now) but I can't begin to tell you how good it felt when he came to my office to pick up some old military documents of his that "I found". I had them for several years but was just waiting. It felt awesome. He didn't even say anything. He just kept looking at me. I went out of my way to have him follow me back to my office rather than bring the papers to him. I'm telling you. We was floored and had no idea what to say. I loved EVERY minute of it. HA!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
