you suck

Yesterday I went to the doctor to meet/speak with the doctor who is going to remove the polyp in my uterus and any endometriosis that I have.

*sigh* This man. I waited about 15 minutes for him to come and right off the bat he was like "what are you here for?" and not in the way that doctors usually ask. It's hard to explain "verbally" heh

Anyway, he was all shocked when I told its been years since I had a period.

So he's going to submit the request for surgery to remove the polyp or endo (he switches back and forth between the two) and then he said I'm going to have to be on Provera for a while, every 3 to 4 months, but he didn't say how long "a while" is.

He preached at me for like 15 mins about losing weight, not as a way for having my period regularly, but to avoid further health complications when I get older.

All of the stuff he was saying I've been doing. Since Jan I've lost like 25 lbs and I'm fucking proud of that.

I don't drink soda as much as I used to, probably going to cut it out completely because it's messing with my eyes.

I'm eating less but eating more fruits and vegetables

So the next step is to get back to exercising.

so if im out of my lane tell me: but it's widely reported that Black women don't get adequate medical attention or equal treatment as white women and I as a white woman can't get anyone to do shit about my uterus so i I can't imagine what you're going through. look if Serena Williams has to throw some elbows to get the medical treatment she needed... you get the idea. fuck this doctor. fuck male doctors in general, lose weight, you're imagining this and have you considered not being sick is almost every male doctor i've ever had. do you feel like getting a second opinion?

This was actually the doctor who is going to be removing the polyps and endometriosis that I have going on.

My gynecologist is the one who said he performs the procedure within the medical group that my insurance is with, so it would probably be a whole thing to get another doctor.

I thing is, I thought the appt that I had was supposed to be talking about the surgery but that didn't happen at all. He put in the request for the surgery and I have to have 1 or 2 more dr visits before the actual surgery.
