Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 , Man was I glad to hear that! I started this process very overweight. I hate even reading the medical reports from the ER, where they would make references " this is an obese female " . It just seemed like a label, a judgement. I actually had one of my primary care doctors say to me, after I had expressed concern about what weight I had lost, " Well Marti, fortunately you are one of those people who can go a month without eating and still be ok. " Needless to say, I am no longer his patient. My GI, when I told him that, and told him my concerns about the amount of weight I have lost since June 1 (50 lbs) he said, well, if you started at out at 100 pounds all these doctors would have been concerned, now wouldnt they. He just said, let's keep an eye on it. No judgement, etc. Nice change. Marti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
