Dr. Christine Marie Wallace, MD

I had a blood clot- which she insisted (snidely) was a bug bite. I got a second opinion from a different doctor and was treated accordingly. The final straw is as follows. I am 5'2" and at that time 252 lbs- and Diabetic. I have procured a personal trainer. I work out 3 - 5 times a week (with a 100 lb weight loss goal) and asked to have my meds cut back. She prescribes a LOT of meds- while being extremely discouraging about diet and exercise. Her exact words were- with a scoff "*snicker* Be realistic... in order for you to lose 100 pounds you would have to work out all day, every day for the rest of your life- for OUR purposes all you need to lose is 10% of your body weight..." and then proceeded to prescribe shots to the stomach (!).... which my insurance company denied as not medically necessary. I got a new doctor- who cut my 1000mg /day IN HALF!... I have lost 30 pounds... I have gone from a size 3x to 1x... MY WEIGHT LOSS/DIABETIC JOURNEY IS DIFFICULT ENOUGH WITHOUT… HAVING A DOCTOR THAT DOESNT' SHARE THE SAME HEALTHY VISION THAT I HAVE FOR MY LIFE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MY CAREGIVER CAN ATTEMPT TO LIMIT MY WEIGHT LOSS TO 25 POUNDS OFF OF A 250 POUND BODY.
