I saw my doctor just to get my prescription refilled. She usually turns the appointment into a follow up about my weight loss.

I lost a couple of pounds since I saw her in August, but I’ve kept off all the weight I’ve lost for 2 years.

She was talking about how I was pre dispositioned (whatever that means) and that she’s so scared I’m going to gain the weight back. I wasn’t excatly arguing with her but perhaps sticking up for myself. I said “ Ive kept it off for two years.” And then she said “but yeah you’ve lost weight before and gained it back.” And I said “but I’m off those meds. My weight gain was strictly a med issue.” And she made some other comments including asking me if I could control myself for the holiday season.

I try to just get in and out as fast as I can. I was literally just there for my prescription. I don’t understand why but I have to see her everytime I need my birth control refilled. I wish she could just call it in, but she can’t.

Is this weird? Should I just nod and smile when she says it? Making a point didn’t work.

My birth control is very important to me, and I’m worried another doctor won’t give it to me. She also doesn’t do an internal exam. I am terrified of an internal exam. I’ve never had one and I probably should since I’m 24, but I am scared.

So it’s best to just stay with her. But how should I deal with her comments besides proving her wrong?

Hi Bozdickens, how are you feeling about this today? I've had doctors say weird things to me before too. It sounds like, she is concerned, and you are not, and sometimes people have a difference of opinion, and it just is that way. I think that if you feel confident about it, and ok, and not worried about your weight, then go with that. I *would* just nod and smile. It's really all you can do after openly disagreeing. I'm wondering, is this bothering you so much because it's coming from a doctor? because you disagree? something else? or all three? Can you let it roll off your back? If not, post back!

Boz, one last thought: I read your thread title, and I'm thinking that's why you're bothered by what she said. Is that it? That makes sense to me. If someone didn't have confidence in me, and I felt like everything was fine, I'd be bothered by that too. Especially if it was a doctor or someone like, my mom. Anyway, I hope you're feeling better.

Yeah it’s because I think she doesn’t have confidence in me.

The thing is, I’ve been ravenously hungry ever since I went from 60 to 40 on my geodon. I don’t know why going down on it is making me hungry. I thought it would go the other way. I haven’t gained weight and my clothes still fit. But I really need to get back on track so I actually will prove her wrong.

With the personalities of my coworkers, gaining weight is probably one of the worst things that can happen.
