[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like most of you have had fabulous experiences with doctors.  Have you ever been significantly overweight and gone to the doctor?  I wonder if she's been let down by the medical profession because I feel like she would just be told that all of her problems are due to her weight.  She may be feeling that her situation is hopeless because of the things she's faced at a doctor.  It sounds like she's trying to put her best foot forward when she's smiley and hanging out.  I finally found a good doctor, I've lost a ton of weight (on a GLP-1), and the difference in treatment is astounding and quite frankly, very sad.  OP, I think that you do care about your sister.  I wonder if you've ever spoken about medical issues with her and gotten a feel for her success with medical care in general.  Please don't feel you need to tell her she's overweight, she knows.

No, I haven't had fabulous experiences with doctors and if they discussed my weight with me, I'd know it was serious.
I would not want a doctor who, say, let me keep smoking despite the respiratory problems it was causing me because I might be too sensitive about quitting smoking.
My father had a doctor like that but that was because my father was too old and his lung cancer was beyond reversible. 
If a doctor is telling you to change something, that doctor believes you have a fighting chance to improve your life. Because if they aren't advising you on the change, they are essentially giving up on you.[/quote]
