I left the appointment feeling disappointed about myself and the fact that I did not lose more weight to improve my liver results. I am feeling that I will not go back for my next yearly appointment unless my weight loss is a drastic improvement. Weight loss for me is a sensitive subject so my ears were only hearing the feeling of disappointment in my results. Granted I never expect candy coating and my results are bad for my overall health and I understand that piece. Serious conversation was needed but just did not motivate me to comeback next year.

I wanted to explore alternative treatment options and Adam listened to my concerns and we then selected a different medication. He answered all of my questions.
