As many of you I've been having a hard dealing with what that Dr said to me. But I realized it wasn't what she said but how she said it. Like I was a slug she scraped off her shoe. And realized she's nobody to me so why should I care. And as I have been going rounds with my insurance about finding a new Dr(we can only see certain Drs to get it paid for) I got alist from them for all approved Drs. when going through it I found a dr on there that specializes in Bariatrics(obesity).I was soooooooooooooo excited I called and set up an appointment. When I called they had me speak with his nurse-who was awsome- and she said he know that not one certain thing works for everyone and that he would try several options. I asked about the Weight watchers and she said that had worked well for several of their patients. She also said that they have alot of sucess with patients eating 200cal meals every 2hrs which equals out about 1600cals a day if you take out your 8hrs of sleeping time. But he would go into more detail when I see him which isnt until Oct. 2nd(he's out for 2weeks on Vacation) I also talked to her about my female problems I'm having and how that Dr treated me. she didn't agree with that dr and has given me a referal to see a different gyno that they refer alot of their patients too. Im so relived I feel like finally I'm on the right path.yeahhhhhhhhhhhh.The only down side is these drs are 2hrs away but I definetly think it will be worth the drive.

Thank all of you soooooo much for your supoort when I was feeling down. It means alot to me to have people truely understand what it is like being so big & having such a struggle in front of you. Thank you again

Cat, I'm so glad to hear that you have finally gotten by the horrors of Dr. One-size-fits-all. Good riddance! I know that it seems like a long time to wait to see the new doc, but maybe you can use that time to get an accurate assessment of your daily habits and routines so that you can be really specific at your appointment. In any case, it will be here before you know it! All the best, Annie
