Rose Hernandez
Hi my name is Rose Hernandez I am a 35 year old and Italian female with 
 three young children. After the birth of my last child I was a stay at home Mom for a year. I became 
 depressed and fell into bad eating habits and the weight piled on. I had my lap band procedure done on 
 May 11, 2004. At that time my 5'4" frame was tipping the scales at around 245 pounds. I was having back, knee and feet pain due to my weight. I was very nervous about having this procedure done. At the seminar I discovered that Dr. Smith had the procedure done himself.

I have struggled with my weight my entire adult life. I made numerous attempts at weight loss through the years & would be fairly successful, but I’d always gain the weight back plus more. At the age of 41 after years of yo-yo dieting, I had given up on weight loss. Then I heard about the LAP-BAND. I learned that it was minimally invasive, adjustable & even removable if need be. I decided it was the right thing for me. Dr. Smith performed my surgery in June of 2005.

A year and a half after getting the LAP-BAND® I have lost 117 pounds. A new me has emerged in a way I never thought could be experienced. Before my lap band surgery, every type of diet you can imagine had been tried, "been there done that". While working at the Fort Worth Specialty Surgery Center with Dr. Smith I jumped at the opportunity for him to do my surgery.
