Surgeon Testimonial

Daryl A. Stewart, M.D.
My first impression of Dr. Stewart was that he was extremely thorough in his practice and knew what he was doing. He went over everything in minute detail as to the risks involved. He is very calm and soft spoken and completely puts me at ease. I have complete confidence and trust in Dr. Stewart.rnrnDr. Stewart is the Medical Director for the Denton Regional Medical Center, Bariatric Surgery Center and Owner/Director of the Weight Loss Specialists of North Texas clinic. So, he obviously has the experience as a bariatric surgeon. Dr. Stewart presented the facts regarding both gastric bypass and lapband. He allowed me to choose which surgery I was most comfortable with and supported me in that decision. He never pushed one over the other. However, if he didn't believe lapband would be beneficial for me, I am certain he would have said so.

    Monday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench! ~JudyAnne~

Hello, my name is Vickie.  I was a fat kid, a fat teenager, a slender 20-something, and have put on weight since having kids.  I started learning about the lap-band in March 2007.  I think I was in denial thinking I wasn't "big" enough to pursue WLS.  Well, I am in denial no longer!

My Story

My story - well, I was a normal weight baby, and child until I hit 4th grade.  Then I started putting on weight.  No sob story but my childhood, shall we say, wasn't exactly ideal.  So to escape, I ate.  I also had food pushers around me "here honey have some cookies/pizza/cake/food of the day - it will make it better".  I was the "fat kid" in school.  I was made fun of, humiliated, bullied, and a host of other things.  I accepted the first guy who showed interest in me.  Being fat, one could not be picky.  So I married him at 16, had a baby at 17 and was divorced at 18.  At that time, I lost a bunch of weight and was thin.  I stayed that way until I started having children with my current wonderful absolutely the best husband.  With every pregnancy I gained weight and was unable to lose it before getting pregnant again.  And so it goes.  When my now 7 year old was 1 year old, I started taking Adipex and Meridia together and lost 70 pounds.  When I stopped taking the meds, I put the weight back on plus more, and, here I am.
