There are a lot of doctors who are "fat haters" and I have had my share. When I first figured that I had PCOS I went to a doctor who simply told me to join Jenny Craig and stop eating! I was bawling on the table and then he still went ahead and did a pap smear.

If he knew anything about PCOS he would know that the condition itself makes losing weight difficult.

Get another doctor- and get aggressive! This is your health and don't let anybody push you around.

On a side note though- extra weight tends to increase your levels of estrogen which can make things difficult- but that can be worked through with drugs and the right doctor. Sometimes just losing 10 lbs can make a huge difference.

Don't let anyone deny you treatment though beause of your weight.
