'm new to site
Hi, I'm new to this site. My husband and I had our surgery Oct 10, 2007. We had it the same day. We are two months out now and are doing good. Mick has lost 70 pounds (counting preop) I have lost 53 (counting preop. I also like to count the 20 pounds i lost in the year of Weigh****cher's.
We are 62 years old, have been married 41 years. We have 8 children and 27 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Still we felt we are not too old to get healthier. Mick is off his diabetes meds already. It is wonderful.
Looking forward to getting to know some of you. Jo Ann

Hi Mick and JoAnn,
I am contemplating weight loss surgery and having Dr Smith as my Doc, What type of surgery did you have? and how did it go for you? Im not sure that I can have it done because I have had prior surgery on my tummy that was pretty invasive Ill just have to ask the Dr. Did you have to do the liquid diet before surery? Im very interested in your progress I hope your still looking at this board..

Dr. Smith is wonderful. He has a wonderful "bedside manner". He answered all of my questions. And I had a lot of them.
I had RNY surgery. I haven't had any complications except the foamies and they aren't too bad. Just inconvienent.
My husband had surgery the same day and he hasn't had any complications except we have both had constipation. Another doctor gave us a good recipie to help that.
I too had scars from a precious operation. To bypass it they took another route for that incision but they were able to do that just fine.
Pre op we had to do three protein shakes a day (we only did two) and had a Lean Cusine at night. It wasn't bad at all.
We highly recommend him. By the way, my brother, Ray Wilde, works in the office there. He is the one *****commended Dr. Smith to us. We had an appointment for another place but cancelled it.
Any of the three doctors there are good. We took Dr. Smith because he had the most experience. Jo Ann
