Awful appt today with the endo

I can hardly bring myself to post an update. I wait over a month for this appt and it was a total bust. I feel degraded, beat down and not worthy. This quack said I was borderline hypo and he "could" increase my meds and it might spark some weight loss but he won't b/c it could cause other issues. He said I should just go have weight loss surgery and take the easy route since I am doing nothing wrong. I just have genetics fighting against me. He says I'm a healthy 30 year old who just hit an unlucky streak. He was shocked at the doses of diuretics I had taked and didn't lose and swelling water gain....but he DIDN'T offer any direction for me to take to find some solutions. Do I have a vitamin deficiency? There has got to be something. I don't need to lose that much. I gained 30 pounds in 6 wks 18 months again, then got pregnant and now am dealing with tons of issues related to the hypo stuff post partum.


 


UGH, I feel like this dr beat me with a stick today. He handed me the "pay this much on your way out sheet" and walked out...no good luck, nice meeting you...NOTHING. And this dr comes HIGHLY reccommended....sheesh.


So, NOW WHAT?????????? I am at a loss and tired of crying.

Oh Kelly - I'm so sorry!! I don't know why we take this kind of stuff out on ourselves when it's the doctor's fault and nothing more. He treated you so badly but it's so common. Can you find another doctor? I know it sounds ridiculous but keep trying!! It took me 3 doctors to get a good one and continous fights with my son's doctor to get him the treatment he needed!! Try to dust yourself off from this bad encounter. It's not you -it's nothing you did - and you need a real doctor to listen to you and take care of you!! Big hugs, Cathy
