What to these people think - they will have to change how they eat. That's it. Do they even look up "anesthesia and obesity" before they roll themselves toward Houston? Dang - between this family and the tornado, I need a snack. Hatch Chile cashews for me. Yum. 1 Link to comment
Armchair Critic May 3, 2018 Share May 3, 2018 I will give Roshanda credit for being mobile at that weight, people like James weighed less and he was nothing but a talking head on a blob in bed. 15 Link to comment

I think they film after normal office hours, HIPPA rules and they'd have to get releases to be filmed by all those waiting. I imagine some of his patients don't want to be seen on national TV. 6 Link to comment

I speculated a couple weeks(?) ago that it might be due to needing to get the camera crew and equipment in the waiting room, which I'm sure is a lot easier when there aren't other patients there, and also because I imagine most of his patients don't want to end up on TV, even blurred out, so it's just easier to do it after hours. 6 Link to comment

My son and I went to A2 in September for the 200th anniversary of the university. I promised myself back in the 1970's that if I were still alive, I'd come back in 2017 - and I did. Aliya jr went to Michigan as well, and my late husband's relatives are there. We had a ball going around campus, looking at old haunts. I went to the new building my grad program is in and ran into a professor from 1997. We were both shocked. : ) I love A2 and UM and have done minority undergrad recruiting and recruiting for my grad program over the years. 6 Link to comment
