I’ve seen quite a few posts here over the last two months vilifying doctors for “ignoring the real issue” and instead focusing on telling a person to simply lose weight. While I absolutely do not agree that serious complications should be overlooked, it’s worth pointing out that weight loss probably is the number one thing a person should change if he/she is overweight/obese. Being heavy really WILL deeply negatively affect and complicate pretty much any health issue you have.
Therefore, being told that step 1 is losing some weight, adding some exercise and better foods to your daily routine, that’s probably because it absolutely is the best and foremost thing you need to do. I’ve heard it said often that doctors listen to thinner people more and of course this can be ridiculous. It’s possible to be thin and a smoker and eat only junk (just small amounts). But the great majority of healthy people are simply thinner. I don’t think it’s fair to say that medical professionals are just “out to get you”.
