She dreads her yearly OB/GYN appointment because her doctor won't stop pressuring her to lose weight.
I am not normally at a loss for words, but my mild pushback during the last physical resulted in an irritated doctor, pushing additional “suggestions”which usually entail signing up for a commercial weight-loss program, visiting a colleague who is not in my network, tummy tucks, etc. I generally reserve those topics for my yearly visits with my general practitioner and prefer she concentrate on my “woman parts.
· I have to ask all my doctors not to discuss my weight: If they tell me I should lose weight, then I will obsess about it and start to gain weight. Most get it and are respectful. I did have to tell one of them twice. A “My weight is not up for discussion” on an intake form worked really well, too. They are trying to help, but it’s not always helpful. Best of luck!· Please find another gynecologist who will respect your boundaries.
