I think I hate my surgical group...

I'm having surgery on Wed with Dr Larry Gellman in North Shore. Amazing team. Great staff

I have my first round of tests with Dr. Ahmad's office tomorrow- July 1. I think your review was the first bad review I've ever heard. Believe me, I have searched all over the internet looking for bad stuff on this Dr... I have even had other health professionals tell me what an amazing surgeon he is. I am glad to read it though because I will be on alert for any red flags.

I am sure you had your surgery by now and I hope you are doing well.

The NUT on the other hand, I have no confidence in her! My first appointment with her I told her I shouldn't eat white bread because it has sugar in it. (I'm diabetic) She argued with me that it's a starch and had flour but no sugar. I kept telling her yes, bread has sugar in it. Just look at the nutrition label. It's right there at the top of the ingredients. She finally stopped trying to convince me I was wrong but I could see the look on her face. She thought I was crazy. She wasn't trying to tell me I should be eating it, but I'm thinking what kind of a nutritionist doesn't know something so basic?? With all that said, luckily the pre/post op diet and nutrition is totally handled through the nurse educators, not the NUT.

In your nutritionist's defense, bread has a minimal amount of sugar, but the refined white flour used in it is chock full of simple carbs, which react essentially the same as sugar in regard to fat storage and blood glucose. Unless you are eating a special flavored bread, standard white bread has almost no actual sugar in it. Even if it is on the ingredients list, it is typically under 2-4g.
