most of the docs are too arrogant thinking they are gods to learn anything.

with this I primarily mean the ones who have been around 8-10 or more years.

they consider themselves the masters, the pioneers and are simply concerned

about DVT's and death and not all the walking deficient patients they are

not guiding.

I did find a number of new surgeons who were Very willing to listen and

learn. this was encouraging.

I'm not sure whats scarier....... the old docs still performing surgery and

saying tums and flintstones and they see NO deficiencies in their practice

or the surgeons who have done one or two wls because people keep asking for

it, they have had no training but just know they can do it since they do

other lap procedures.

one point I heard a few times was that docs needed to be selective in their

patients and that they needed to realize that these patients are their

patients for life time and follow up is crucial. I hope they all heard that.

they need programs - not cut and leave you on your own.

lots of nurses out there running programs who refer to patients as " those

people " , they don't know how to exercise and diet. if you want to see smoke

blow out my horns let me hear a cardiac or ob nurse who is now doing

bariatrics make a comment like that!!

You want to know what is worse then that? It's having your PCP call you

one of those people and advising you to walk 5 miles a day at 479 lbs. I

just love ignorant medical professionals (oops, I mean gods). Now don't

get me started.
