I just had to write this down because it's unbelieveable:
I went to my GP (of 7 years) to enquire about a Gastric Bypass and see about getting help with Post Natal Depression.
Her reaction was disgusting and upsetting, I left her surgery feeling near suicidal.
Her answer to my excessive weight gain was:
"just stop eating & don't fill your fridge with food"
When I told her about my joint problems she said:
"What do you expect being so fat"
When I told her I was depressed after the birth of my baby and found comfort eating helped, she replied:
" Just go back to work sooner"
And when I mentioned if she could refer me for a Gastric Bypass, she replied:
"Im not going to waste my time"
As you can imagine I came away feeling ten times worse than before I went in.
She is now my EX GP.
My new GP was understanding and very helpful, he did refer me for surgery, but my PCT would not fund it, therefore Im going private.
Has anyone else had such a bad response from their GP ?
I'm actually considering making a complaint against her, but not sure what I would actually achieve.
