Don’t bother going to Dr. Johnson if you are overweight. I waited 3 months for this appointment. To start, he was was 25 minutes late for the first appointment of the day. I wanted information about possible surgical options for sleep apnea since I cannot tolerate a CPAP. He mentioned one sleep study we could do to get Inspire, but did not seem hopeful because it is my weight that is the problem. It went downhill from there. He blamed my weight and dismissed me to my GP. I didn’t even feel like a person, it was like he couldn’t see me as anything other than a fat blob who was sitting in front of him wasting his time. I felt no compassion, no hope, and cried out of shame when I left. Note to doctors, perhaps a big reason people die from weight related issues is because they have no safe place to exist as anyone other than their weight in the medical community.
