BayView...Dr. Anne Lidor?

That's the schedule at Hopkins every month.  THe first meeting of the month is a talk/share meeting - it's the second Thursday of each month.  The next meeting (the third Thursday of the month - confused yet?) there is a guest speaker.  I have enjoyed both and find that often even with a guest speaker people hang around through the end of the meeting to give and receive support.

I just had RNY surgery with Dr. Lidor on October 1st.  I love her.  I was orginally scheduled with Dr. Steele but she was out on medical leave.  Dr. Lidor also removed my gallbladder in 2007.  She is not a surgery that is going to coddle you but I need that tough love.  I was recently admitted to the hospital for dehydration and she stoped in to check on me and was sweet as could be.  If you are the kind of person that needs to be hugged and kissed along the way I wouldn't pick her.  I on the other hand would rather have someone who is straight forward and to the point.  Again, I can not say enough good stuff about Dr. Lidor.  As far as the BV support group I have been a couple times before surgery but haven't been since surgery.  It is definently on my to do list.  Good Luck!!!!

Thanks everyone for your input... I hope to meet some of you at the support group meetings.. Good Luck to all of you-
