Surgeon TestimonialLael ForbesDr. Forbes is an awesome Dr. She tells you how it's going to be, and demands that you follow instruction. Dr. Forbes wants to make sure that you are going to be compliant as a pre op as well as post op. I have had many instances of having to call her, and she has met me every single time with a smile and a warm comment. Dr. Forbes and Dr. Posner are strict on people doing the South Beach diet and exercise program they set out for you during your consult. If you plan on being non compliant in the begining, be prepared to have a long wait. This diet and exercise regimine is crucial for you to meet and exceed your weightloss goals...and thiers.rn She was with me through every complication that I had making sure that I was ok. She is almost like a mother hen when things don't go right, but I truly appreciate her for that. She is very knowledgable at her craft, and is caring. I was very happy with all of my medical treatment. And was very happy that she did not hesitate to call on Dr. posner when she wasn't sure about something. I give her an A plus for all her efforts.There are no amount of words that I can say to you to thank you for giving me back a life where I am part of it and not sitting on the sidelines watching it go by. Thanks Dr. Forbes for making this possible for me. May God watch over those hands of yours as you give this wonderful gift to others.rnrnWith much love to you and your staff,rnMonicarn Member Interests

PHASE 3

Phase 3 is the most liberal stage of the diet - by now it is simply one aspect of a healthy lifestyle rather than a weight-loss program. At this point you should be knowledgeable enough about how the South Beach Diet works to enjoy all the flexibility of the plan. That is why there is no shopping list for Phase Three. If you want it, if it fits in the diet, and if it doesn't undo all your sacrifices, you may enjoy it in appropriate portions!
Try Post Spoon Size Shredded Wheat cereal.

When you should call a Dr. instead of posting on the... on March 28, 2007 3:24 pm
Ok folks,
I have a gripe...or whatever you want to call it. Why is it that folks come and ask for your help and then don't bother to listen to it? With this surgery comes a lot of serious things that can happen and a lot of times it means that you NEED to call your surgeon.
When you have a pain...call your surgeon.
When you can't stop throwing up...call your surgeon.
When you have diarrhea for days...call your dr.
When you have questions about what you can and can't take...call your surgeon.
When you have blood coming from one place or another...call your dr.
I think that you get where i'm coming from. We aren't doctors here and we REALLY shouldn't be dispensing medical advice to anyone. Although we all have shared similar experiences. There is a time to call your dr...and any of these fit that quota.
You can choose to sit around in pain, or you can be your own advocate in your health. If you are a NEW post op this is not the time to ask a community questions regarding your health...there are too many things that can go wrong early out. I have seen too many posts from new post ops asking questions that they should truly direct to thier dr's. Not that I don't mind helping when I can, but this is what they are paid for...to oversee YOUR health. We have no knowledge of your medical conditions...they do.
Please don't misunderstand, we are here to support you and will continue to do that. But when it comes to some things, you should direct these specific questions to the professionals. Not trying to offend anyone...only speaking the truth. TTFN
