Arkansas Sleevers

[razrbakcrzy 9]

Hi my Names Jim Boston I'm from Fort Smith and I was sleeved June 29, 2011 by Dr, Travis Goodnight @ Summit Medical Center In Van Buren, Arkansas. He was great! it was by far the Easiest surgery I have ever had. I was back at work in 5 days....

I have had very little problem mostly the psycological issues, learing curve. My brain was telling me to go look in the fridge, and to eat faster. I just had to learn to turn that stuff off... and it has gone pretty well so far...

I am currently about 357.5lbs preop weight was 387lbs down from a high weight of 474lbs in December of 2009

I have heard of alot of folks from my area going up to see Dr. Roller i just did not want my surgeon to be 45 minutes away if anything went wrong. so I chose to go with Dr. Goodnight...

I didn't realize you were in AR!! I'm in Conway.

Jim- just replied to one of your other posts, but I will post here as well. I also had surgery with Dr Goodnight and cannot say enough positive things about him!! Mine was 3/28/11 and I'm down 67 since surgery day (115 overall). I travel to FS some or work, so I'm hoping to make one of the upcoming support group meetings.

We should have an AR sleevers meet up sometime b/c I think there are a few more of us on here.
