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.

A few numbers...mostly for me...
on April 28, 2009 11:53 am
These are based on my current weight and goal of 146...

You need 1908.9 calories per day to reach your goal weight slowly and maintain that weight without exercise.

If you reduce your current caloric intake to 2038.6 calories per day you will lose one pound per week without exercise.

If you exercise for 30 minutes each day, you will be able to reach your goal weight with 2129.5 calories per day.

If you exercise for 60 minutes each day, you will be able to reach your goal weight with 2405.2 calories per day.

 

Macronutrients

You need 238.6 grams of carbohydrates, 63 grams of fat, and 95.4 grams of protein per day for 1908.9 calories to maintain your goal weight of 146 pounds.

Just when you think it would never happen to you...
on April 28, 2009 7:45 am
So I SWORE I would never go back. I knew it happened, but not to me.

This shall be short and sweet...ok, kinda sweet...

I have gained 47 lbs back. 47. Very not nice.

As of yesterday I am "back." Three meals, nothing inbetween. I am tracking everything in www.fitday.com

This journey will NOT combust in flames ... or FAT! Period.
