I've been wanting to write for a while but honestly couldn't find the words. I am down 125 pounds since my surgery on August 11, 2015. I feel wonderful. I'm a better mom and wife and just a happier person. My body no longer aches and I no longer feel like I'm living in someone else's body. As well, I am running 5k three times a week and training for a 10k.
I cannot thank the whole team enough for this new life! The work you guys do is really life changing and I hope everyone knows how much you have improved my life. I've never had better care in my life than the care I received with you. Your surgeon is by far one of the best, most caring doctors I've ever had and I cannot thank him enough.

Outstanding experience, and I say this before any significant weight loss causes any bias.
The SmartShape Surgeon and his supporting staff were very personable, approachable and extremely caring. I had questions pre-operatively and they were all answered in a timely manner and in a very patient and caring way. The nurses that I personally met or spoke to on the phone were qualified, dependable and super friendly. I am glad I chose the Surgeon at SmartShape for my life changing surgery.

To my SmartShape Surgeon – Wow – you have forever changed my life today. What a fantastic and amazing experience. You have my kids relieved - not only will I be here to mother them, but also to see and enjoy my grand-babies. Your staff is top shelf and your surgical work is first class. I will always be grateful for the opportunity and experience. Thank you for moving the most impossible mountain in my 45 year life. I have already achieved my CPR First Aid certificate, I commit to work part-time, attain my LPN Diploma, and do 1 hour of exercise daily. I also commit 110% to healthy food choices and a lifestyle full of joy!! May God bless you!

Hello!
It has been one year since my gastric sleeve surgery, and I feel AMAZING! I am the healthiest and happiest I have been in years. It has been a challenging year, but I wouldn't have done anything any differently. My highest weight was 240 lbs, I am currently sitting at 155 lbs. I was a size 16-18 and I am now a size 6-10. I have competed in a 5km run in 28 minutes, something I never thought possible. I am no longer held back by my insecurities and have gained so much confidence in myself. Thank you so much for all of the support. And thank you to my Surgeon for helping me get my life under control.

Hi there! I am doing quite well, I’m down 55 lbs since the surgery back in February! I started in November of last year with the shakes, so from November to now I’m down 100 lbs in total. I’ve got about 40 more pounds to lose to hit my weight loss goal. I feel great! I have been more active this summer than I have been in years, my energy is through the roof and for the first time in my life I am not obsessing about my weight. The acid reflux has been an issue that I am slowly learning how to deal with. My Doctor has me on a good pill to help block the acids and I am adding food to my list of what not to eat. I am leaning very quickly what to avoid, and replacing those things with healthy options. I’m preparing to have more blood work done next week. My first blood test after the surgery was very good and I suspect things are still the same today.
I have no regrets about having the surgery done. Thanks so much!

Your clinic seemed to really care about the aftercare of your patients. I love that I can call whenever I need to and the nurses and doctors are always a pleasure to speak with. Even before I committed to going with SmartShape, I called pretty often to ask my 1,000 questions and voice my concerns. Everyone was beyond helpful and very kind. I haven't had to call as much after the surgery but when I have, again, everyone was outstanding in answering every question. I'm extremely grateful for the constant reassurance and support from this team.
I have already recommended SmartShape to more than one person, one being my brother. He has been watching my progress and is now starting to save some money so he can have his surgery with SmartShape as well. I let him know that everyone on your team was extremely personable and helpful. I didn't have any complications at all and my talented Surgeon was a pleasure to work with. He made me feel extremely confident about the procedure when I was starting to have my doubts and my nerves were getting to me.
Thank you very much to the team at SmartShape. You guys have changed my life for the better.
