u/Active-Cry-5717

I found a surgeon I really liked and trusted because they're an ENT specialist, but I'm feeling really horrible because I was denied due to POTS. I've contacted multiple surgeons and I've either just been ghosted or denied due to POTS.. I don't really get it? I'm on medication to stabilize it, and it's not exactly a heart condition.

I don't know if I should try to push back a little bit or if that would make me come across as argumentative..?

I've had (non cosmetic) surgeries before with no complications many times, and I just don't really get it? It's frustrating.

I just want to feel pretty and this is making me feel hopeless.

Edit: This post is not to promote doing dangerous surgeries or ones that surgeons are uncomfortable with, I was just feeling hopeless as I have been dealing with this for a while and I just want to feel happy in my body. I understand that when a surgeon says no, it means no. I just thought that it was a communication error, as I have had many doctors in the UK not even know what POTS is and treat me way differently after looking it up.
