Surgeon Testimonial

Jared Speakman, MD
Dr. Speakman spoke at the intro/community meeting I attended in St. George. He is soft spoken, yet his confidence and knowledge in the procedure is clear. He was very serious during my first office visit (I'm grateful, honest!) it wasn't until the second confirmation visit that he cracked a smile and had some fun with me.rnrnThe experience with his staff started out rough and thank goodness the evilness was canned along the way. From that point forward all was wonderful!

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
Ha. I was always aware I consumed food different than the majority. I spent 2+ years as an active and abstinent OA member and from that point forward knew it would take drastic measures. My eating was out of control. When I was younger, my lifestyle and metabolism kept me from being 300+ but as I aged, slowed down and increased intake - 384 came without much effort. ALong with it came the dreaded comorbidities that scared the hell out of me.

1. Wearing a belt. Weird. Freakin' pants won't stay up.
2. Moved the seat in the Jeep up one notch, belly still doesn't touch. Made my clutch happier.

Not too shabby!

Good habits?
on October 24, 2006 7:08 am
Is it possible I am on my way to developing good habits? I have been to the gym on each of the two days I was committed! I committed to MWF and it has happened. Yesterday was even a "holiday" and I went! Yesterday I did alittle over what I did last time and worked a bit harder as well. Felt good.

Found Stonewall's Jerquee at the HF store and it rocks just as I remembered.

Set a goal to hit -100 by Nov 17th! That way, when I go home, and someone asks how much I've lost I can say..."Oh, just 100 lbs."
