You are probably asking what is SMET ??? SMET stands for SO MUCH EASIER TO......( after our WLS ). Here is my SMET.....bend over and picking things up off the floor.....tie my shoes.......fit into a booth and bathroom stall.......walk, run, climb stairs.......get in and out of car.....find clothes that FIT my body......to be in photographs. Now....please share some of yours with us.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

Not having to wait on the "handicap sized bathroom stall at the public places...

Belly is NOT driving the car or touching the steering wheel

Just moving from the car to my desk is so much easier now...

Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose. Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email. I'll answer it as soon as possible.

VSG on 09/02/08 with

SMET:
go through a turnstile
get out of the bathtub...gracefully LOL!
sit in a booth without the girls on it
look down and see my toes, especially nice after a pedi-
wear horizontal stripes if I want to
wear pants or skirts-with no elastic
shop for clothes-no searching for "women's, plus or queen"
wear colors-not the ubiquitous black and white
sit in an aisle seat on a plane without worrying that half of me is in the aisle
order a dessert without getting the look from the waitstaff

There are many, many more. I'm reminded at least once a day. What a ride!
