My mother did this on my behalf when I was an infant, just a few weeks old.
"Nothing is staying down. Always throwing up. Not gaining wait."
"Oh yea yea sure new mother. You'll get the hang of it. Come back next month see you then. Naturally under weight since birth it's normal for the kid. Thanks bye."
Rinse and repeat until some doctor got bloody tired of the repeat visits. "Fine, come on in and I'll take a look." A few minutes later it was "oh fuck" and I was on a gurney being wheeled into surgery.
So now that it's decades after I didn't starve to death thanks to a procedure that didn't exist before 1912 [official diagnostic criteria at 1888] ... yea. Maybe sometimes you should bother your doctor(s). Sure, humour them and leave a lot of the time but when you know it's Not Good ... make them stop humouring you.
And yes, "I have the scar to prove it".
