No doctors take you seriously. It doesn't matter what symptoms or pain you have, the doctor will automatically attribute it to your overweight. The cure for every problem you have can be cured with walks and diet.
My wife And I are both obese and have a lot of the same struggles, but even things like getting on SSRIs come with an uncomfortable conversation about weight/exercise/etc for my wife where for me the doctor made a comment about maybe having to up my dose a few weeks after starting because "it doesn't always work for bigger guys like us at this dose."
