Surgeon Testimonial

Adam Smith, D.O., F.A.C.O.S
He's awesome. He wears the band also so he knows what his patients are going through. He was very knowledgeable and just an all around nice guy. He stresses aftercare and holds group meetings in his office. He really cares about his patients. My husband and I were at ease with Dr. Smith from the moment he walked into the room. I would highly recommend him to anyone. This guy is my hero.rnrnI have lost 170 pounds and couldn't feel better. Dr. Smith is the cream of the crop you could not find a better surgeon.

    Well, it’s official! You’re on the losing side. The trumpets are blaring, the cymbals are crashing and the drums are drumming – all for YOU! I hope that all went well for you! Your journey will have moments to “pause” - Feel free to look at my profile and see my ups and downs and know I’d not change a thing with anything I’ve experienced. Everything was worth it! – I’d like to impart some words of wisdom for when it does occur - remember these wise words whispered by Confucius – “It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” Be patient. You didn’t put it on over night, it won’t come off over night (DARN IT!)…Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly and take lots of pictures…the transformations will make your jaw drop!!!

This is to put everything under control in its widest sense. --- May God keep you close to his side as you travel your new journey. You will have ups and downs. You can always turn to us, your AMOS family, we will give support, comfort and encouragement. You will find this will be the best thing you could ever have done for yourself as well as your family. I know that was true for me. Keep us posted when you reach the "other" side. I pray for a speedy and easy recovery for you. Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly. We all like to see how we are doing!!! Make sure you take pictures. It’s great to see the new you emerge!!!

    Kim Let go let .God!!!! Let Him take over all of your worries and concerns. He is in charge. I worked for 40 years in hospitals as a surgical nurse. You WILL wake up... Riding in your car to go to the hospital is more dangerous than surgery. I pray for to find inner peace,even tomorrow. will be looking forward to hearing from you soon. ....Carol

Hello my name is Kim and I am a Parnormal Investigator (Ghost Hunter). It's a strange hobby I know, but then again nothing about me is normal and I like it that way. My group is Texas Reaserch Investigatoins of Paranormal Studies. You can visit our website here  T.R.I.P.S.

I have been overweight for the majority of my life. I had lap band sugery on September 26, 2005. Since that day I have lost 170 pounds and still counting. I have gone from weighing 294 pounds to now 124 pounds. For the first time in my life I am happy with myself. I hit my goal weight of 140 pounds on January 17, 2007. Lapband has changed my life and I would recommend it to anyone who is willing to take that leap of faith, put a little elbow grease to it and make a commitment.
