I personally have NEVER found her helpful. I avoid those meetings too now.

Thumbs up Seriously..

The meetings where that other girl was there who had Gastric Bypass, I don't remember her name.. anyway she was like an intern or an assistant or something to Dr. Bryant.. I loved those meetings.. she was great!! She knew where we were coming from, etc. Dr. Bryant doesn't know her butt from a hole in a wall. She wanted to teach the aspects of Psychology and was very long winded.. and I think she even lost her own sense of direction in some of the conversations she was having. She would go off on the technical aspects and forget that there were real people there listening to her. I seriously think she's going senile or something.. but that is just my personal opinion. I agree with you Bridget, they were helpful in the beginning.. when the other girl was there instead of or with Dr. Bryant. But when Dr. B was there by herself.. I don't know I think she has some type of ADD or maybe smoked a few too many doobies when she was younger.. missing brain cells or something.. again, just my personal opinion..

Well, I hate to tell her that she doesn't know me by talking to me for 30 minutes and the fact is that I did this surgery to improve my life with my kids. I can play with them now and life is so much better.

THAT is NOT good advice, at all my little chick a dee! Whatever is in YOUR best interest will ultimately be in the best interest of your family. Its not rocket since, nor did I need a Ph.d to know that and share it with you as well... man 'o man! I dont blame you for not being impressed.

I'll run it! LOL. Oh lordy we wold all be in a world of mess.... lol. Love y'all!
