    I certainly hope that your doctor took a look at your ankle, at least! My biggest beef with doctors is that they don't even bother to listen to overweight patients' ailments. They take one look at you and say, "you need to lose weight." WELL, NO DUH, idiot, but I'm here because I have an infected cut on my behind from running through the woods and snagging my shorts on a tree branch! Or, I have a sinus infection that's making it hard for me to breathe ... it's not the weight that's making me wheeze! I get it that extra weight can and does cause a lot of medical issues. But, NOT EVERYTHING IS RELATED TO THE WEIGHT ISSUE! You're ankle might be swollen because of a sprain or bee sting or snake bite, for goodness sakes! Keep working on the weight, exercise and eat better. You're among those who understand here! And, find another doctor who will listen to your ailments before judging you!

    It's the same if you are a smoker...the doc's answer to your gynecological problems will be to 'quit smoking'.

    Only half? I've lost a whole person with a half to go.. :) I'm just hoping I didn't lose the good looking parts because I didn't have much of that to start with.

    Welcome aboard!!

    Argh, that makes me so mad!! I went to the immediate care place here a couple of weeks ago because it hurt to breathe. No fever, no sniffles, no cough, no other symptoms... and all the doctor wanted to talk about was my weight! That's the second and last time I will go there because it happened the first time I went there. I found a lump in my throat that wasn't there the day before, went there, the doctor did a VERY basic exam before telling me it was my thyroid and I should get my numbers checked. It didn't matter that I had them checked about three months before. He insisted it was my thyroid and I probably just hadn't noticed the lump, it wouldn't show up that quickly..... Well, it turns out, technically he was right. It was a cyst on my thyroid.

    Yes, I'm fat, I know I'm fat. My cholesterol is fine, my blood sugar is fine, my thyroid is fine. Now can we please discuss the REAL reason I'm here?!?! :) Okay, rant done....

    BTW, Welcome FatMama!!

    My husband went to the dr's with severe poison ivy. Before looking at the rash the doctor did a circle motion around my husband's belly and said "you need to get rid of all this" Me being the good wife I am bursted out laughing but really, last I checked poison ivy affects skinny folks too!
