Hi Connie, Thanks for your reply. I am sorry to hear about the death of your husband. It was 2 months after my surgery that I lost my cousin Tammy. She was more like a sister to me than a cousin. I experience the same thing you need with Dr. W because I only lost 3 lbs in 6 weeks. I told him about the loss of my cousin and that I have been having a hard time accepting her death, He told me that all well and good but she was gone and I need to get back to losing weight. I shouldn't have gone back bat at that time there was no other doctor on my insurance. But now Dr. Weaver is so I am thinking about switching to her. I understand that he is losing alot of patients because of his attitude. Maybe one day he will realize that and change his way (Honestly I don't think he will). Lisa

Dr. Woodman did my surgery in Sept 07 and while he is an excellent surgeon, his bedside manner is terrible. He is very rude and doesn't have a problem with putting you down. I have lost 60lbs and he told that he sees now that I am going to be one of his failures. 5 months after having my surgery I had a serious back injury and couldn't move for 6 weeks and he told me that I was just using that as an excuse not to exercise. If you have any other choice of a doctor I would look into them. I would suggest Dr. Weaver.
