First Physical exam

Question
I am supposed to be having a full physical exam soon. I've never had one, but I found some basic info on them. My question is, what can I expect, or will it be different because of my weight ? I'm 5'10 tall and weigh about 300 pounds. I have a 52' waist and a large stomach with rolls of fat that hang over. In the physical they push into your stomach for your kidneys and organs, and so I think
I'd be really embarassed because of my fat. My belly button looks like a crease between my top and bottom roll, especially when I sit down. I'm thinking that
the doctor will most likely say something about my fat belly, and my penis looks much smaller because I have fat thighs, and a fat pad down there. Should I try
to suck it in, or just deal with the embarassment and let it all hang out. ? What can I expect ? Thanks.


Answer
Hey Jason,

I'm actually not sure what you should be expecting as many doctors have different ways of doing things.  However i think the appointment will be an eye opener for you to do something about your weight(if your not doing anything right now)  

Don't worry about your fat I'm pretty sure you're not going to be their first patient who is overweight and you certainly wont be their last.  

In regards to sucking in your stomach don't even worry about go in there face the facts and come out of the appointment with something positive.  The more your honest about your situation the better the doctor can help you out.

Hope that help you out Jason Let me know if you need anything else.

P.S Jason i would appreciate it if you would rate my response

Thanks
