Hi Derek,
Looks like you had a good week...Almost 5 pounds lost and the 350lbs is within reach, That's great!
Swimming should do you good...but keep an eye on trunks as they may slip!
Keep up the good work!

Topic: RE: Doctors that judge based on weight.
OMG I almost forgot the incident I had at an imaging center. Down in San Antonio I had to have images taken of my back injury after a car accident. So, the doctor sent me to a specialized office where all they do are x-rays, mris, etc... Anyway. The nurse announced to me in front of an entire waiting room full of people that they wouldn't be able to help me because the table for x-rays only held people who weighed up to 350 and she didnt want to break the table. she then informed me... louder so all could hear... that the only place that would have the type of technology needed to x ray someone who weighed 570-ish pounds (my weight at the time) was at Sea World!!!
I kid you not I stood there looking at her with my mouth open!!! I promptly turned, walked out and called the place asking for the director or manager of the facility. I was so furious I had to sit in the parking lot crying and shaking in anger. I felt a little better in knowing that woman was fired immediately- however the cruelty in her words and the look she had given me when she said them will never be forgotten.
Some people don't care who they hurt... no matter what their profession is.

Topic: RE: Doctors that judge based on weight.
This was the case for me when I was at my heaviest. I refused to go to the dentist because they made such a fuss over my size and their chair... not to mention going to the "lady doctor". They obviously weren't trained in tact, nor bedside manner... I left both places crying and hadn't been back to one until I lost a huge amount of weight.
My family doctor thought that by being stern and throwing my weight in my face would make me change it... it only made me change family doctors.

I find that a little pricey. Must be able to do better. I was just thinking the support would be comfortable. If I was at my goal weight I would buy it. I still have a way to go. Doris QC.

On the back of the package it has a height/weight chart. I used that to find the perfect fit- since you cant try them on in store.
