How a Gynecology Degree Helps in Treating Obese Patients
The thing that I notice, which is very similar between morbidly obese women and pregnant women, is that they are similar on various levels -- in emotional stage, in the way how they approach outside world. The pregnant woman and morbidly obese woman, both of them know that they are seen by the world as something special. Unfortunately, for morbidly obese women that does not end in nine months. For pregnant women, they know that after nine months they will deliver a baby and have the joy.
In morbid obese women, they know that after a single month they usually are not getting better but getting worse. They are still perceived by the society as something different, and nobody likes to be different. We want to be the same. We want to belong to the society. We don’t want to be on the side of it. Pregnant women also perceive everything in a very emotional way, and it’s the same with morbidly obese women. They know that they are on the tip of the tongues of many people because they are morbidly obese. They know that when they go to work, when somebody is coming, the first person who they notice is this morbidly obese woman, or a pregnant woman.
Everybody else is sort of in the shade and that puts them into the situation that no matter what you do, no matter how you react, the perception is different. They have much more emotional problems, much more everyday problems than a regular person. No matter what they eat, they are perceived like overeaters. No matter where they go, they are perceived like they are doing something wrong, and that sticks with a woman. That sticks and tell her that “I am not as good as everybody else because I am in the area where everybody can see me,” and every single second, every single minute, they know that they are observed, and that causes a lots of emotional distress.
