Hi!

I didn't have Dr. Smith, but had his partner Dr. Wroblewski (sp).  I am guessing a lot of the staff crosses over and they were all wonderful there.  They are all really helpful and quick to answer a question if you have any.  The staff at the hospital was really nice and helpful too. 

Good luck and enjoy the ride!

I am so excited.  I bought my first pair of Jeans last week that weren't "fat girl" jeans.  They have BLING on the butt.  Never had BLING on my butt before.  I was so jealous when I saw other girls with cute jeans on and I couldn't wear them.
I am down 42 pounds and can't wait to lose more.  I am soooooo happy that I made the decision to do the surgery.

Steph, I am so glad you are out.  I am sorry that this has been a tuff experience for you.  But I am faithful that it will get better and you will look back on all this and still be glad that you did it.
Good luck with the weeks to come.

Good Luck Matt!  You will be so happy with the surgery.  I just had mine on October 25th and am so happy that I had it done.
I lknow how excited you are.  I could hardly wait to have surgery.  My family and friends were a little confused on how I could be sooooo excited and not scared.

Matt,  I had Dr. Smith 2 years ago for my surgery.  I thought he was a great dr.  I did have to have 2 dilitations after surgery, but Dr. Smith got me right in and I've done very well ever since.  I have never not had anyone call me right back if I had any ?'s or concerns.  The surgery is definitely not an easy road but I would do it all again in a heartbeat.  I've been very pleased with my results and the support I've received from Dr. Smith's office and from my friends here on the ND loser's bench.  My advice is to follow Dr. Smith's instructions and get active in this crazy ND group.  Good luck to you and welcome to the loser's bench.
