Seeking advice...

I went to the gyno doctor yesterday because of my many female issues lately. I have had a lot of pain down below my belly button, lower back pain, nausea, swelling and an 8 pound weight gain in the past 2 weeks. My belly is SO huge and bloated! The dr. found out that I have a cyst on my right ovary, which is draining; she says this is what is causing my pain. I also have a small fibroid in my uterus which she said is "nothing to worry about". If neither of these two issues are "nothing of concern" at this point, then why do I have so much pain and feel so sick?

I am really irritated with this dr. for numerous reasons and have chosen to seek out a new gyno; who I am seeing on May 13th. I am considering calling the office on Monday to see if I can get in sooner because I feel so bad! My current doctor offered no help/alternative as to why I am experiencing this bloating, water retension and weight gain... other than "It may be due to the cyst." It MAY be??? What is that? I feel like she doesn't take me seriously. I know how I feel right now and I feel terrible!! It hurts me to sit upright!! I don't want to feel this way.

This dr. makes me feel like all my problems would go away if I would "just lose weight"! I'm sure it would help a lot of things but she doesn't understand that I have been overweight since 2001 and its NOT easy to all of a sudden change your eating habits over night and exercise daily! Its going to be a process and the weight probably won't fly off "just like that"!!

If anyone has dealt with cysts or any of these issues, please offer up any advice that you can!! I'd appreciate it so much:)
