my doctor took blood tests from me last week as i was really ill, turned out i had a chest and kidney infection. anyhoo he said he was going to check my cholesterol (sp) levels as if they get to a certain level he can use it as criteria to get me put on weight loss meds!?!? i was like "WHAT?!" i never mentioned my weight to him! i went cos i was in pain and wasnt gettin any better and just needed to get some antibiotics and he starts planning and i quote " a 5 stone weight loss by this time next year"
how dare he assume i would want to lose weight, and how dare he assume i would want to be put on hormone altering, digestive system destroying weight loss tablets to do so!?! he wants me on reductil or xenical! ive researched both on the net and they sound horrific! he also mentioned something called lipotrim which again i researched, its some sort of meal replacement drink given to people who are in need of operations to lose weight before the anasthetic.....
im furious and also disappointed as my doc has always been so so lovely, ive recommended him to people hes that good...
as it is my blood tests came back and showed normal cholesterol levels ha!
rant over lol
bex xox
