Very grateful that with one kink with my neuro-ophthalmologist aside (he told my neurologist that instead of a shunt I should get bariatric surgery, but then at my next appointment when I started to bitch him out the apologized and told me my No was enough reason for him to drop the issue), none of my many doctors in Baltimore have ever given me grief for being fat, and in fact every time I do lose weight (unwillingly) they go into panic mode like they're all doing now with this duodenum mystery

#the one time in Maryland i ever got medical flak for being fat was when i went to an urgent care in Brooklyn Park #it wasn't even the doctors who told me it was a scale that automatically printed out that i was ONE pound into obesity range #which like. what the fuck why would any medical professional have a scale like that that's obscene #and it DID trigger disordered eating for about 6 months until coming across an ED discussion here on tumblr miraculously knocked some sense #into me #anyway having it on record that I've been sick all my life means my docs know that I've never been able to exercise without hurting myself #and I'm on so many meds that are constantly being switched around and i have so many conditions that will flare at random #and thusly my weight at any given time is largely meaningless except when i plummet so much do fast like right now #anyway #weight loss tw
