Before & After There are currently no before and after photos for this member. See these instructions if you wish to submit your own Before & After photos. Surgeon Testimonial Garth Davis, M.D. When I first met Dr. Garth it was for a consultation and then again for my pre-operative visit prior to surgery. I truly view him as friendly, a little down to earth with a confidence air to himself. His staff is welcoming and efficient, they are supportive and work hard to address your concerns. I never really experinced any problems with his services, besides a run-in I had with a staff member, but that was resolved due to their wonderful customer service. If seeking for a Doctor: selecting Dr. Garth would be a great choice, he's a well known Doctor who has been adknowledge for his skill set. Evenmore, has operated as one of the Surgeons on Discoverey Channel's \"BIG MEDICINE\", he's perfectly capable of doing a stellar job. Dr. Garth doesn't specifically emphasize aftercare but his staff and all the information your provided does, it's important that you educate yourself beyond what the Doctor requires you to know. What I value about Dr. Garth is that he was right up front about some of the risks that can come with having the RNY procedure but also positive in highlighting the benefits that came with it as well. From a scale 1-10 I would rate him an 8, he could use a little more humor in the office...Lol. Overall, when it comes to surgical competence and bed side manner, both are high on my list and from what I've been told and soon to know for myself, Dr. Garth is all of that and more. |

into if I wanted. Granny can truly throw down and she did today, it happens that way when your limited. I was thinking 
about next year this time and how I would be able to get my grub on in smaller portions......lol. 
I Thank you God for allowing me to have the desire of my heart
. Lets talk about the after, in which I haven't had a whole lot of unbearable pain but GAS
which is a whole new dimension "for real". I haven't really experinced much of the gas in my chest cavity but mostly in my stomach/back area. It doesn't really hurt me but it can be annoying 
after a while. The gas makes it challenging to breath freely and most of all its a "JOB" trying to find ways to rid yourself of it. (I'm open to any ideas "OH" 
).
and I'm really feeling great about things, I'm in a good place emotionally 
"Big Hug". 
, a small burning sensation 
in the pit of my abdomen and a minor headache
. These symptoms are typical and is really is nothing to get ALL radical over.
, the body (appetite), mind, and eyes want to eat just becuz it can't. Day 2 is the "Empty stage" during this time I felt helpless
, I knew if I wanted to eat I could 
; whereas in the past we would have fed are faces thru it, for others you just may error
. That’s alright, dust your feet off and start again the next day. Day 3 is the "Reality stage" 
this is when it hits you that eating food is not an option and that the weeks ahead will be similar to what you’re feeling now. I tell ya, this "LD" had me running the restroom
