Vertical Sleeve with Dr. adam Smith



Recommended Posts

I am trying to get info from anyone in Texas who has used Dr Adam Smith? I know one is supposed to do research on the doctor you intend to use but I haven't found anything about him.

Dr. Smith did my sleeve on Dec. 3rd, 2012. I met with several others in the area before deciding to use him. I was self-pay and had my choice. I found him personable, easy to work with, and his self-pay rates were better than the other choices. I had awesome experience at Baylor Trophy Club; the staff was fantastic. There were no complications and I was back home in just over 24 hours with minimal pain and a quick recovery. Surgery was 2 months and 19 days ago and I've lost 45 pounds. I couldn't be happier.

I too used dr Adam smith. I used him just because, he took my insurance, and he was the nearest to my home. And my nephew recommend him as a friend

I also had mine done at trophy club 02/18/ 13. I think he did a great job. I was wondering ...those who had surgery a bout

4 weeks ago, if I will be well enough to take my grandkids camping over spring break?

In my experience, barring complications, you will be "able" to take the grand kids camping. However, you may not want to. I looked at your profile to see your vital stats, but your age, etc. isn't listed. So let me share my experience. I am in my early forties and was 222 when I was sleeved. Four weeks post-op, my sutures were nicely healed, I felt great...and I still tired easily after a full day at my desk job. Yes, I was walking and doing other exercises everyday; yes, I was eating my Protein and drinking my fluids. All was well, my body just took another 3 or 4 weeks before everything felt fully recovered and my endurance and energy levels were back to normal.

I just had my surgery on 2/18 w Dr smith at baylor trophy club also. He is real attentive but to the point has a pet peeve for fully examining you before doing surgery psych, edge, blood, chest xrays etc. The process is rather quick because they submit to your insurance while waiting for results of tests. I went for consult on 1/15 was approved in 17days then sleeved two was later. The staff at trophy club is extremely personal and considerate. It is a small facility so it is one on one they make sure u r comfortable

..hope this helps

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
