When I first started reading your post I thought,"Why on earth would she be thankful for a horrible old gynecologist? LOL!" But, then I see it is a case of God using evil (the old gyn) for good (because you were able to find someone better!) So, YES, be thankful, indeed!
Your weight loss is great and I am sending LOTS of BABY DUST your way! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*
