Scared

[Tansmommy08 3]

I haven't been to the doctor for about a 2 months i haven't lost any weight. I was on all kinds of depression medication and stopped taking everything. I know that weight gain is a side effect of stopping medication like that, however I'm scared my doctor is going to get mad that I haven't lost any weight. I have an appointment today to get a fill, I just don't want the doctor to get at me or deny me a full... Has anyone else went through this?

Why did you stop taking your depression meds? Not to be nosy but that would concern me more than my weight loss. Plus, the two are usually connected.

Most docs and most all bariatric surgeons understand the ups and downs of weight loss. If they don't get it by now, they should find a different profession. If your doc has any compassion or an interest in his patients well-being, he/she will understand your issues and encourage you to get back on the bandwagon.

There have been several accounts of some A-hole doctors who think that scolding their patients motivates them. Stupid docs. But, they're in a small minority so go in and expect to be hugged and encouraged!

I think if the doctor is decent at all, he/she won't get after you. They should be supportive and understanding.

While it does happen that people are denied, I think the chances of that are pretty low. Sounds like you are just being too hard on yourself.

I think it's awesome you are going in for a fill and trying to move forward.

I would like to ditto GuyMontag above though. Have the same question and concern.
