"I felt like I was being fat-shamed"

About: Pilgrim Hospital / Day Surgery Unit Pilgrim Hospital / Gynaecology

(as a service user),

I went in to hospital for surgery as I had a VN2 precancerous cells. My appointment had been cancelled 3 times so I was quite anxious to get it done and not be cancelled again. The nurses were lovely but the surgeon was rude and not nice - I felt like I was being fat shamed because I am overweight. They did not explain anything to me what they had done. I just found the whole experience with them quite upsetting.
