current reviews??

i was just at hollywood clinic from november to december 2009 they have changed a few things in there.
they have changed the supplements to fortisips/fortijuices because the shakes were coming up really inconsistently from the kitchen.
also bedrest was only reserved for patients at really low weight and who didn’t follow the rules (excessive exercise, hiding food, using contraband etc).
the groups are still really good and ED focused but they have added a new group with a really good therapist and we have learnt about makeup, dancing and body confidence.
not many people got tubed unless they are at a dangerous body weight or not complying. if you have the tube they lock your bathroom at night. plus you’re on daily weights while on the tube.
day patient involves getting to the clinic before 10 am and you have to order your lunch, then have morning tea. after that is a group depending on what day you go, then you stay for lunch and if you want you stay for the afternoon group and then afternoon tea.
meal outings are ok, they have reduced it to a few restaurants, but they chose it very carefully and the places usually do good food. for take away the dietician has been trying to get us to have woodfired pizza but we don’t usually get it. we usually need to have a carb of chips or rice depending on the take away but hardly anyone has it.
overall the place really does help and the other patients all support each other.
the only thing that i didn’t like was that they shut the smoking area from 11 pm-6 am and i usually go out for a smoke during the night and that kinda stressed me out.
