I didn’t like the fact that she pushed a diabetes med on me for weight loss.
But she’s a doctor after all and part of her practice is prescribing meds.
I’ve decided to continue seeing her.
She’s helped me lose a lot of weigh with her guidance on nutrition and diet.
I will just tell her that I don’t want any meds prescribed to me.
If she doesn’t understand this and gives me a hard time then ill leave her.
That’s really great that you’ve lost weight. And I support you in you decision to get help from a nutritionist without the meds. Sometimes I look at all the pills I am taking and think this has got to stop. Hopefully with home traction I can get off most of the pain meds and that will be 6 less pills a day, sometimes more.
I think not taking meds you don’t need is a good idea. I didn’t take meds for my weight loss journey. I just took what I already needed.
I’d be very insistent with the dr about no meds if you’re going to stick with her. If she argues with you or seems irritated by it, you really should fire her
I’m curious why you don’t want the meds, though. Are they known to have terrible side effects? From what others have told me,the meds really help a lot.
