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

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!

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.

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!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
