This is the Weight and Healthcare newsletter! If you like what you are reading, please consider subscribing and/or sharing! I received the following question from reader Briana: I've seen two cardiologists. They both opened with bariatric surgery and were shocked when I pushed back. Neither had blood pressure cuffs that fit and yet both prescribed bp meds and taking my bp (even though they have no evidence of high bp and they had no recommendations for home cuffs that would fit to the point of being sarcastic and mean). They also were super fatphobic in other ways. One told me that the reason I suddenly was having breathing problems after a hospitalization for high heart rate that it was "my confidence was shot" when in fact it was walking pneumonia. He absolutely refused to believe me.
Great talking points and resources (per usual from you!), thank you for making your blog so helpful.
