Hello group,
I am relatively knew to the site but I would like to hear from anyone that experienced Fobi"s technique and the results thereof? I know he is good. I just want to know the nature of your entire experience i.e. like about how long you stayed in the hospital, what i can expect from his bedside manner, once I wake up from surgery, you know, I guess I want to be walked through the experience. How many days before you went home, what you ate and for how long, sample menus would be excellent. I will take whatever you give.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you all.

definetly check out OH that is the best place to do ur research on your doctor. as for sample menus and his eating plan if you attend his seminar or have had an apt with him he should have given you this information, or the nutritionist that works with him should have at your appointment with them. if not i would definetly ask :) good luck in your research

Thanks for the input Geniveve, I did attend the seminar and I spoke to his dietician "but" my inquisition was to learn from the patients perspective which differs from professional. I am sure you can understand that. thanks again for the link to OH it was excellent the only thing is the post are not that current, thanks again.

I had surgery with Dr. fobi's colleagues, and Dr. Fobi himself, paid me a visit after surgery. I had the surgery down in Hawaiin Gardens in Ca. And I can HONESTLY tell you it was like a factory, like get them in as fast as you can and out as fast as you can. My doctor was Dr. Naim, ABSOLUTELY NO BEDSIDE MANNER, he was like working on commission, trying to get as many as them through as fast as possible. And it's not just me saying that, EVERYBODY I talked to said the same thing. His office is like a holding pen. All that said, the surgery took place, it was extremely painful for me, but damn it I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO GET SKINNY. I WOULD JUMP THROUGH ANY HOOP. I lost a total of 80 pounds in 2 years. Now it is all coming back on again. like a mininum of 2 pounds every 3 weeks. I am starving myself. I am sick of protein. I was down to a size 12 and now I am in a 16. Don't want to be a downer to anybody, but this is my truth. Probably just me and my body, my issues. But my depression is becoming worse because I know it is not controllable. and if it is it takes ALL MY MIND AND TIME TO THE POINT I CAN HAVE NO OTHER LIFE. But yes, the Fobi pouch works., but if you notice Roseanne Barr had t he fobi pouch, so did Randy Jackson, and they both gained alot of weight back..
