Dr. Christopher Smith - Where Are Dr. Smith's Other Patients?



Recommended Posts

Since my opinion of the Realize Band's RealizeMySuccess web site is not very good, I have decided to use this web site instead. Seems a lot more active and user-friendly.

I was banded and had a hiatal hernia, plus an umbilical hernia repaired on November 11, 2009. My first fill on Dec 15, 2009, Second on January 19, and third on Feb 16. I think I am a bit too tight from this one and will let them remove a CC next week. That will bring my total fill to 9 CC's, which I think will be just about right.

I have been very impressed with Dr. Smith and my husband also chose Dr. Smith to do his band on January 4. Now, we hope to get much healthier and live longer to see our Grandchildren grow up. I started at 362 in my primary care physician's office in late October and today I am at 316.

Hi- I know this is an old post- but I am hoping that you see my reply as I am looking for someone else local who used Dr. Smith. Dr. Smith will be doing my LapBand- hopefully in early July of this year. Do you live in Albany? I am in Lee County. I am assuming you had your surgery at Phoebe. I am having mine there. Did you have a good experience? I hope so. I am a little worried about the general anesthesia. How are you doing now? How much have you lost? I - like you- want to lose weight so that I dont start havng obesity related health problems. I also want to live to enjoy my grandchildren ( that I dont have yet ). LOL Hope to hear from you. -Shelly

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
