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.

Hello "OH" Land
on January 30, 2010 10:31 pm

What's up!

my family . I'm finally a month out and so excited about posting my pics. My WLS journey thus far has been great. Truly I'm blessed, I have no complaints. I've really just been taking each day at a time and trying to stay in tune with my body and doing my best to stay on target with my diet. I don't have to many challenges at this point but I for sure can say that taking my vitamins has become "work' for me. I probably should have become familiar with taking "V" before the surgery, perhaps it wouldn't be such a hurdle

for me. Its amazing to see how by body is changing but more importantly how my mind is changing

. I must say its a "Fab" feeling and I plan to see my happiness all the way through. I feel like a new beginning has kicked off in my life and I'm in charge of the direction it's headed. I can go on and on about the many things taking place within me but I'll wait. This way, I will have something more to talk on next time.

PS: look for my You Tube video tomorrow, I will post it sometime in the afternoon/evening. I have the link on my profile page header. Let me know your thoughts. Much luv Lady shay. Oh.....I almost forgot, your girl went from pre-op 257lb to post-op 221lb. I'm so proud of me

almost 40pds Y'all.

Guys I was sooooooo trying to chill in till the end of the month when I posted my pics to blog again but I just couldn't stay away. Anyhow I wanted to give you guys an update on my progress. I'm know 29pds down and truly excited with my weight loss thus far, I know that I couldn't have done it without this tool and to mention "OH". My body is definitely changing, I'm feeling good and not ALL heavy and drained in the morning. Every now and then I feel a little warped and that's probably due to me not being consistent with my vitamins but I'm working on it. I consider myself bless, I've not had any complications post-op to surgery. I know its God and all the prayers that were prayed on my behalf. It's been a transition though, the battle is more in the mind for me than within my body. I've had my share of moments but I'm making the adjustments. I was released a week in a half ago to work out but I thought I'd use my own wisdom and start today. I'm so eager to work exercise and see what results I yield but more importantly my health. Well be on watch for my end of the month pics and my FAME videos on you-tube. Much luv, Ladyshay

Happy New Year "peeps" I couldn't allow this day to go by without sharing my heart with my you. How grateful I am to have such wonderful supporters as you. You have made my jrny thus far amazing, and I'm so looking forward to building upon what we have this 2010. Most of you have contributed in some way or another and then their are those of you who have held my hand and truly encouraged me every step of the way. I couldn't have taken this walk without you. I send double blessings your way, may God's favor shine upon your path. Much luv, Lady shay.
