Hi.  I had a LapBand put in last year.  I'm moving to Salt Lake City this summer and need a new doctor's office for fills and follow-up.  Anyone know of a good one? Thanks! Renee

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

Welcome! The UT board doesn't seem to get too much action :) Best of luck on your journey!!! :)

I'm just beginning my journey and have decided to occasionally blog about it -- both to possibly help others, and myself. I know it's been done before. But if you'd like to visit: http://remims.blogspot.com/

If you are still having trouble with your ticker, here is what worked for me. Jo Ann

Tickers:
I don't know if you have gotten to your ticker production yet.
If you haven't
find someone's ticker and you will see above it "ticker factory".
Click on that. If it doesn't work on one find another.
You can actually click on the actual ticker
if you are just trying to change your ticket by updating it.
This will take you to the site.
Click "create your own ticker."
Scroll down and click on "Weight loss".
It shows different tickers.
Click on one that you like.
Click next at the bottom of the page.
To get the clicker slider, choose one and click on the circle.
Click at the bottom of the page where it says "next".
Choose a password.
Fill out the chart.
Click again on "next" at the bottom of the page.
Fill out the chart.
Click again on "next".
Right click on the copy of your ticker.
Click copy.
Come back to this posting site. This may be difficult.
Do it like you got to the site the first time. That works for me.
There is a blue box at the left.
Click on "User Settings".
You will see a box for signature.
At bottom of the page make sure you change the default editor to "plain text".
Right click on box for signature.
If this is the first time it will be blank.
If it is the second time and you are updating your ticker click on the actual ticker in the box and paste your ticker.
Go to bottom of page and click on "enable signature".
Click on "save".
