I'm currently looking for a new doc, seems most all of them nowadays are smug and pompous asssholes...I'm down 22 pounds for the last year and not one doctor has mentioned anything about it...glad to hear the kiddo is well subbie, takes a load off the mind
Brother B: 22 pound weight loss on a guy as fit as you... As a doctor's daddy, lemme give you some advice --
Doctors see dozens of patients a day. They are human. Many are
too human, and miss stuff the really should catch.
This is not an excuse, but an observation from MySonTheDoctor.
I have to add my 2c -- Get a
disappointment, and flat state to your doctor that you want his opinion on the humongous weight loss you have undergone.
Q1: Why did you lose all that weight. (Muscle mass?)
Q2: What can you/he do about it?
If he does not know why (and the change in weight may just have gone right by him, unnoticed) -- ask him for the largest-odds likelihood for the reason.
What I'm trying to say,
@boo, is you are correct in being concerned.
Awright. Now the flip side:
One thing I know very well about you well is that you are one athletic old fart sumbitch. Up with the fargin chickens, off to the Torture Chamber to lift tractor axles 50 reps and the like. Geez.
So I haveta axe: Could your last year of so have been like the one your Unca had, where injury prevented proper exercise for a
looong time, and the result was not muscle, but pork?
I am
slime oop slim and trim at 210. I useta be 260. My shot-up shoulder fell off, and the titanium skeleton I now flaunt required
zerio movement for six weeks (actually locked in place in a giant solid sling), then sooper-baby steps after that.
The result was me doing a fifty fargin pound weight change to get back to at least a shadow of my former self.
You bein' you (bull at a gate) may have thrown off what could have been excessive weight with all your gym hours.
So it
could be a good thing. And it
could be a bad thing. Give the doc a shot at it.
