Surgeon Testimonial

Dennis C. Smith, Jr., MD, FACS
I've only spoken to Dr. Smith on the phone thus far. My first impression was really good. He is so calm and I find that reassuring and calming to me. I have confidence in his abilities, and we even discussed their Center of Excellence status. It sounded as if he respected me because I chose him partly because of that reason. He was very thorough when we talked about the surgery, and he patiently answered all my questions even though I'm sure he had others patients to see or talk with.rnrnSince surgery, I can say that I do absolutely adore Dr. Smith! He came to check on me twice a day for the entire time I was in the hospital - something NO other surgeon I've ever had. He is not the most talkative guy ever, but then that's ok with me. I like his quiet nature. I am very thankful that he is my surgeon.

Taking the first step....
posted on 7/23/07 2:56 pm
I am going to elaborate about me and upload some pictures soon, but I have to say that I have made the first of many steps in this journey.  After the epiphany I had this past weekend thanks to my friend Kris, I talked with my boyfriend and today, I made the first appointment for the consultation with Dr. Elariny.  The appointment is on August 7th, at 5:00 p.m. - it's the free information session.  My boyfriend, Gerald, is going with me.  He's being super-supportive and understands that I am doing this so we can at long last run that half-marathon together.  And as a good side-effect, I am hoping that my plantar faschiitis, extreme GERD, high blood pressure, stress-induced incontinence, and back and other muscle aches will go away.  Who knows, I might even have 26 miles in me.  We have such a wonderful life together planned, including sailing the Caribbean in our sail boat, and I want to be healthy and able to do it!

I have to say thank you to all whom I have read posts from as well.  Your stories are truly inspiring, and I can't wait to meet the new, healthy, skinny me!
