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

Going to a Conference
on July 24, 2008 8:45 am
I am going to a conference in New Orleans, LA from Firday-Thursay. Then from Thursday-Saturday I am goign to visit my dad in Mississippi then back to DFW.

Hubby was so nice yesterday and said "I can't believe you will be gone for a week, I will miss you". Wow, that just made my day! I told him he would be glad I was gone...PMS!

I don't know what to say about the band except I need to kick my butt in gear, plain and simple! Once I get back from the conference I am stepping it up! I need to be loosing weight while we are trying to conceive. No, stress or emotional eating.

I always have trouble eating when traveling in a car so we will see how I do. I just know it will be SO HUMID and that sometimes messes with me. So, wish me luck on my travels!

Update you guys after August 3!

BACK TO BASICS!!!
on July 21, 2008 4:56 am
I am going to jump back to basics! I am going to exercise! No excuses!

Also, no sweet tea. Being from the south sweet tea is common. Well, I was fine for over a year of not having it. Then one day I realized I was drinking sweet tea....DUH!!!! So, this three week habit has now been kicked, NO SWEET TEA! I was only drinking water or decaf tea with splenda and then I don't know what happened. Blinders went on! NO MORE!!!

I don't want to see the scale go the other direction. I worked hard to loose 100 and I am not gaining any of it back! So, off with 100 and more pounds to come off again!

BLOB
on July 18, 2008 7:52 am
I posted a new picture and looking at it I am disappointed. I am still a blob. Yes, I know I had a lot of weight to loose. Sometimes, it is so hard to look at people's updated photos and they look like skinny little people and I am still a blob!

I just need to keep loosing and stay focused!

BIG NEWS
on July 7, 2008 11:59 am

Well, my big news is....we are trying to get pregnant. 

My hubby and I have been married for almost nine years. This will be the first time we have ever tried to get pregnant. I am so excited! 

I am not goal but I can't wait forever. I knew that I would lose 100-130 pounds before I would try for baby number one. So, I have lost 103 and now I just need to get pregnant. I will of course continue to watch what I eat and exercise and just loose little by little. 

I AM SO EXCITED I CAN BARELY STAND IT!!! I just hope whatever God's path is for us, he leads in that direction.

Wish me the best,
Traci
