Please change both your profile and your stats to reflect your current weight and height. No one can be expected to help you if your numbers aren't right.

5'9" = 69 inches for your profile

And you state in your first post that you weigh 140 pounds. But your stats in your profile say that you are 159. Please change these if you are seriously seeking help in using LC to lose weight. The discrepancies often are the signal of a 'troll' who only seeks to cause trouble on an LC board.

There is also good advice above: at 5'9", 130 is TOO low by any reputable standards. If you are not happy with your shape, then exercise which targets a particular area is a much better idea. 5'9" should weigh from 145 pounds and above, depending on your frame.

Please be clear or people might be justified in being suspicious about the motivation behind these posts.

If you are paying this doctor many $$$, I wonder what his/her motivation really is? Why not listen to the doctors you have already consulted? Sounds to me as though they are right. Sorry to sound so cynical but there have been many people who came here with either malicious or unrealistic motives. I hope you aren't one.
