I am set for surgery June 4 with Dr. Adam Smith or Dr. Craig Ferrara. Anyone have any experience with them?

Dr Smith performed my surgery in Oct-08, he did a wonderful job. The office ladies are very nice as well, I am happy with everything.

yes i used him 6/12/09, he is awesome, i know a bunch of people who have used him. i like the fact that he has had it done himself, he can really relate!

My surgery is scheduled for Oct 8 09. I thought he was wonderful. He is a patient himself, and offers a total care program. He will be taking care of you for 2 years after the surgery! What a great way to build a relationship with your patients! Fabulous! I can't wait!

I have an appt with Dr. Smith tomorrow so I checked here to see what u guys thought of him. Sounds good. Hopefully we will set my surgery date. I cant believe this is really going to happen.

Well due to a sinus infection my surgery was postponed until October 27. I am feeling much better now. I have too, lol, I have a 20 month old!!! Dr. Smith is great. Never met Dr. Ferrara, but once again, I love their total care program. My first fill is the 16th.

Good Luck All.

What is Dr. Smith's pre op diet? I have my appointment January 12th and surgery January 27th, so I guess I will find out soon enough. I was just curious. I'm a planner. :thumbup:

Dr. Smith is now coming to Albuquerque to do lap-band surgery once a month. I have had my appointment and attended one of the support group meetings and everything I hear about him is GREAT! Esp the fact that he is a patient himself.

I also am going to be banded by Dr. Smith here in Albuquerque. He seems to be a nice and knowledgeable guy, who has also had the surgery a few years back. That is a big plus since he will know exactly what myself and others will be going through.

I have a March surgery date....wish me luck!

Good luck!! I was banded by Dr. Smith on 1/27. He did a great job and I'm recovering nicely. I would recommend him easily!

Good for you. I was hoping for the February date, but doesn't look like that will happen. What is the March surgery date, do you know?

Have you attended the support group meetings? They are pretty good.

Dr. Smith did my surgery Feb. 3rd. So far I would say I like him and his staff. I've recovered well from surgery and had 1 fill.. ..the next one is due next week. I can't wait. I've thought about going to a support group meeting but I keep forgetting about it. It would be nice to talk to other people going through this as well.

I was banded Feb 25th by Dr Smith in Albuquerque.

His staff (Esp Henry, Paula and Laura) are great.

mimo - That is fantastic to hear that you had a great experience with Dr. Smith here in ABQ. I have my surgery scheduled for March 25th. So far I am very impressed with the program and staff that they have assembled here in ABQ.

I can't wait to get the surgery over with!
