I've been exercising an hour a day, eating 1200 calories, feeling greater than average fatigue, and have been unable to ...lose weight. I have a family history of thyroid disorders, tested with a slightly elevated TSH level, and was hoping to clarify if changes are going on in my body that could be causing these symptoms. Dr. Furlong spent the entire time condescendingly lecturing me on quick-fix methods of weight-loss (drugs, liquid diets, gastric bypass) as my options for losing weight. He clearly took one look at me and decided I was lying about my diet,level of exercise, and looking for a quick-fix. No, sir, I'm willing to do my part. Being overweight is difficult enough to discuss - taking a patient's health concerns seriously, rather than snap-judging by appearance would greatly help a patient open up. If weight is on your list of health concerns, prepare to be told that starving yourself on 800 calorie/day liquid diets and gastric bypass are your options - no exaggeration. more details
