I tried to tell him about the weight gain being a result of my medication but he aggressively told me That he basically didn’t believe me and said it must be my diet and inactivity. He never did an endoscopy and diagnosed me with GERD even though I didn’t have the symptoms. He gave me antacids and sent me on my way. Since then I’ve been reluctant to see another one. I don’t need doctors going on at me about my weight. My pcp says as long as it’s stable and I’m not gaining and my bloodwork is ok (it is) then it’s not an immediate concern. Obviously I SHOULD try to lose, which I am, but he’s not forcing me to.

Anyway I had an ultrasound of my gallbladder and liver done then, and they came up clean.

I don’t have any pain anymore and haven’t for at least a year. So it’s just the queasiness. I’m feeling ok now. I had a hot dog for lunch and some sourdough with a little butter for dinner.
I am getting a maybe gallbladder vibe here. Hugs.
