Dennis C. Smith, Jr.
"I had my surgery 01/17/07. 4 years ago last week. I weigh 159 lbs. The day they wheeled me in the OR and put my butt on what felt like a 2x4 board at the time..I weighed 368. It has been at least 2 years since I have come to this site. Since then I have been hospitalized and my primary and hospital doctors all say that I must have had an excellent surgeon...I had RNY Lap. I have NEVER...I MEAN NEVER had any complications and no serious pain. I have no signs of scares on my stomach and I feel great. 4 years later and the highest I have weighed in over 2 years is 180 lbs and my normal/average weight is 165-170. I now live in Chicago but I would love to come back to GA just to see Dr. Smith and be a walking testiment to his work. I see myself everyday and I think I take my weightloss for granted. However, I have to admit that seeing me on the before and after made cry He is absolutely the best!!!!"

"I loved this hospital. The nursing staff was very helpful. They never made me feel like I was bothering them and they were respectful of my privacy at the same time. They were probably one of the reasons I had such a speedy recovery-2 days no complications"

"It seemed as if he did not like or wasn't use to dealing with obese patients. He made a comment about my weight. He stated that by looking and you I can tell that you never walk or do any kind of exercise. It really hurt my feelings. This was after I waited in the waiting room for 30 minutes without anybody acknowledging my presence. Nobody ever came from behind the door. I finally had to knock on the door and then they were upset because I knocked. It was awful. I did not like the doctor at all and will inform my surgeon to stop recommending him. "
