Give the docs a break from writing for a few days and let all of you have the floor.  Now this isn’t going to be the mushy I’m thankful for my family and friends kind of thing.  We all will just take it as a given that if you have them you are thankful for them.  This is a I’m thankful for whatever it is weight loss surgery gave you back or did for you.  I think in this type of forum you can help people to see that even the little things are important.

I will start it off…….I am thankful for the experience it gave me.  I never thought I would end up in a job helping those that are going through the same type of journey.  Life has a way of preparing you for things that you aren’t even aware of.  I became a nurse because of the way I was treated after my surgery.  Just because I “chose to do it to myself” (have weight loss surgery) was no reason to leave me walk the hallway alone or tell me I just needed to push the button again because I needed more pain medication for a “person my size” (anesthesia confirmed the morning after that my epidural had slipped out and I was receiving no medication post op). 

At that time weight loss surgery was not as common as it is today and no I did not have my surgery in Texarkana as they did not do it here at the time.   After that hospital stay it gave me the strength to start college…..2 weeks later…and fulfill my dream of becoming a nurse…..4 years later!  I vow to you….you will not walk alone unless you choose that path.—meet me at Wadley December 14th at 7pm—–Lori

More patients are asking about SmartLipo and having the procedure done. As you might know, we brought SmartLipo to Texarkana while looking for a solution to touch up small areas of fat remaining in areas such as the chin, arms, or abdomen. We have had several of our Lap Band patients undergo the procedure and also have many new patients. The laser lipolysis achieved by the SmartLipo machine destroys fat cells and allows for skin tightening as well. The ideal candidate is someone close to their ideal weight who wants to have one or more body areas sculpted and it has been popular with both men and women. The procedure is done in the office and you are awake for the entire procedure. So unlike regular liposuction in the hospital or surgery center, you don’t need general anesthesia. Many patients go back to work within a day or two after having the procedure done. More information can be found on our site for Texas SmartLipo.
