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.
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.

With much love to you and your staff,
Monica

A place for my thoughts

Been away too long...
Hello all...I have been away for a long time from this place....and I think that it's time for me to get back to basics in my own way.  Life has again gotten in my way...and I am doing things that I haven't done in a long time....like eating things that I shouldn't.  I am in my first week of detox so I am on the turnaround.  But dang, it is so easy to get off track.  I have yet to find a place that I feel comfortable these days.  But I will continue to look for that place.  

I think that I am a bit stressed out as well as lonely...but that is no real surprise this was going on when I decided to have this surgery.  So for all of you who think that surgery will fix these things...it doesn't...get help.  While I have not regained..I feel that I am my own worst enemy.  To all the old timers that know me.....HELP....I feel like i'm drowning.  The boards aren't the same for me so I don't go there much...but I also don't see too many people who were on here when I started out.  If you are reading this...please feel free to PM me and I will get right back with you.  But with all respect to the newbies....if you don't truly know what i've been through please hold your opinions to yourself....I can't promise that I will be "nice" in my response to you during this time.  This is a call to the old timers....Thanks in advance for your help all.

Hey there! Glad you are back in the game. No regain is a great thing. I have been eating things I shouldn't as well. I think its easier for me to make an excuse to eat the wrong thing. Food is no longer the comfort zone it was but you know after wls your mind plays games with you. Pick yourself up dust yourself off, count your many blessings and move forward. Drop at line to Frances she has had a rough go lately too. Praying for recovery from everything, Huggzz, Bejai!!!
