Surgeon Testimonial

Adam Smith, D.O., F.A.C.O.S
I met with Dr. Smith on 2/7/07. He was very nice and laid back. He went through everything with me and he felt I would be a great candidate for surgery. He let me feel the port under his skin to see what it is like. He was extremely professional. He is very big on aftercare and overall change of life habits. rnrnI can't say enough about Dr. Smith. Since he is a Lap-band patient himself, he truly understands what we are going through. Susee, his nurse, is a lap-band patient as well as is always there to assist the patients.rnrnDr. Smith is well respected in the medical community and I felt 100% confident with him providing my surgery. He is very educated on the lap-band surgery and has great bedside manner.rnrnI had some issue with getting fills in the beginning. Availability was hard! They have worked on the fill issues. They have another doctor now and it is easy to get in for a fill within a few days.rnrnI highly recommend Dr. Smith and I would do it again in a heart beat. They have commended me along the way and held me accountable. I could have never done it without Dr. Smith and Susee cheering me on!rn

LOST FIVE POUNDS
on November 26, 2007 6:33 am
I lost five pounds this week. YIPPPEE!

I have lost a total of 83.2. I have lost 9.6 toward my New Years goal to loose 15 pounds. So, I have to work hard and I can get there.

I think I am going to move my fill appointment. I just don't think I need a fill. I want a fill because it helps with weight loss but I think I have proper restriction and just need to watch what I eat and exercise!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

YIPPEE
on November 19, 2007 4:34 am
Well, this was a week for loosing! I weigh-in every Monday morning as my offical weigh in. Well, I am happy to report that I lost 5.5 from last week to this week. I had gained weight last week so that is why you will see high loss. I am 4.6 down towards my New Years Goal to loose 15 pounds. That means I have 11.4 to go to reach it by January 1. I have lost a total of 78.2 pounds! 

I am so excited! This weekend my Step-Dad came in from Ohio. He bought me hiking boots for my birthday. Me, hubby, and my step-dad went hiking yesterday! We did 6.5 miles! It was fun and I did really well. It was much better this time with hiking boots versus my tennis shoes. I am looking forward to going again.

I AM SO EXCITED!

Failure Mode
on November 15, 2007 1:04 pm
Why is that when we are in a plateau period and/or gaining weight, we automically think we are going to fail? I know the answer is because we never could control our weight, yo-yo dieted, and always gained weight back that we lost on a diet.

I have struggled the last four weeks. I really feel like I am not accomplishing much but loosing say 1 pound, gain 4, loose it, gain again, loose it, etc. I want to keep seeing the number increase.

Now, when people ask "How much wieght you lost?" I don't want to tell them. I dont want to hear them say oh you are at a stall huh! No duh. Do you think I don't know if I lost or gained weight. 

I can't wait for December 3rd. I will get a fill and I know that will help. In the meantime, I am going to be positive and just watch to see if the scale will go down!

Gained Weight
on November 12, 2007 5:18 am
Well, I gained weight this week. I can say that it is hard to not get frustrated when you gain weight. It seems that I have fluctuated over the last few weeks. I am going to have to seriously excercise to get my body back in the right direction!

People now comment me every time they see me. THey said they are seeing changes in me but I guess I haven't seen then since I have been going up and down the last three to four weeks. 

I am going to hit that New Years Goal! I CAN DO IT!
