I have always hated the doctors - specifically for the reasons listed by all of you above. Five years ago I had spinal surgery (weighed in at 185 lbs), and two months later I had to have emergency spinal surgery because of an infection that set in on my spine. The stupid (and VERY thin) neurosurgeon thought that I got the infection because of my WEIGHT!!!!
Since the surgery and all of my meds I have to take now BECAUSE of the infection, I gained over 100 lbs. Needless to say, I did not have a very high opinion of doctors at that time.
Now, I have a female doctor who has a small weight problem, so she can really relate to the problems of losing. The last time I saw her I had already lost about 15 lbs - she wanted to know what I was doing so SHE could do it!!!
I need to see her at the end of April - I am looking forward to her expression when she sees how much I've lost!
