Surgeon Testimonial

Lael Forbes
Dr. 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

A place for my thoughts


Can You say ....confession time
on October 8, 2007 3:25 pm
Hi everyone....it's been a whole month since my last update.  And boy do I feel like it's long overdue.  This isn't a cry for help so please don't fel like I need an instant intervention.  This is just me being true to the things that I think and feel.  So hang on to your hats...it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

I have found that it is so easy to get away from the things that you know that you are suppose to do and slip back into bad old habits. Even in moderation...it is easy to fool yourself into thinking that everything is "fine".  It starts with...I can have just one piece of chocolate and slowly hits that slippery slope of eating it daily.  It got to the point that I could finish an entire bag of hersheys truffles in the span of 3 days....not exceeding the allotted portion....but the bag didn't say how many portions I could have in a day...lol.  So now I can't even bring them home.  

What else have I learned?....That liquor goes down TOO easy.  I can easily drink 3 vodka and cran apple juices and still function through the buzz.  The buzz lasts for about an hour and i'm back to reality.  Is this a good thing to know?  For me it is...because i'm 27 months out and drinking fluids is MUCH easier than it was when I first had surgery.  This is not something that anyone needs to test...but this is just something that I have found for myself that I could become addicted to and not realize it before it was too late.  

I can truly say that NOW I can see how easy it is to develope a cross addiction.  Before anyone panics and thinks i'm doing this daily....please relax, as this is not the case...this is merely an observation of one instance of drinking.  

On a lighter note, work is busy as heck....and I hardly have time too do much surfing anymore.  The kids are well and so is hubby.  Nothing new on the SSDI front so there isn't anything to report on that.

Feel free to leave comments.  Hugs to all, take care.
