I’ve always been a large person the majority of my life and battled with my weight for years. Had two major events happen in my life that helped me decide it was time for a change. The first was a major back injury that prevented me from working. This lead to major issues with depression and massive weight gain. I went up over 600 pounds. The second was the passing of my father. Made me re- evaluate my life and got me focused again. I needed to do something other than just diet to ensure I’d be around to take...
In my family, we use food for every situation of life. Someone’s birthday? Let’s have dinner. Had a bad day? Have some comfort food. Busted your lip? Here’s a popsicle. New job, promotion, funeral, someone broke up with you, Sunday after church, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, St. Patrick’s Day – food is at the center of all of it. It’s no surprise that by the time I was in fifth grade, I weighed right around 200 lbs. In my adult life, I tried multiple diets hoping to lose the weight. Weight Watchers had been the most successful. In my early 20s,...
My name is Greg Emmons. I had tried numerous diets over the last twenty years and with each diet there was failure. My weight had ballooned up to 325lbs. I had Type 2 diabetes was on insulin, and was taking high blood pressure and high cholesterol medications. I had always led a very active lifestyle, but with this tremendous weight gain I found it very difficult to even accomplish simple tasks. I attended the first weight loss seminar class at Georgetown Bariatrics and after listening to each of Dr. Smith’s team members, I felt this might be for me. But...

I researched WLS for several years but as the mother of a medically fragile child, I was worried something would go wrong and I needed to stay here and be Hannah’s mom. But over time, my age and my weight got to a point where I needed to do something to stay and be Hannah’s mom. Thankfully, the advances in the gastric sleeve were encouraging. So the reasons for not having surgery back then became the very same reasons I wanted to have it now. Why do I recommend Georgetown Bariatrics? Being the mom of a medically fragile child who has endured countless medical procedures and...
After losing around 120 pounds I have a different outlook on life. I am able to breathe better. I no longer have high blood pressure or high cholesterol. I am now able to do things that I couldn’t before or was severely limited to do. Having the gastric sleeve was the best decision I ever made.~ Anthony Hockensmith...

Hopeless, that is how I felt at the beginning of 2015. I was starting another year reflecting on the weight I hadn’t lost in the previous year and thinking about the weight I wanted to lose that year. My weight has been a problem for me since I was 5; I was always the “you have such a pretty face you just need to lose the weight” girl. In March 2015 something changed and I knew if I didn’t change I wouldn’t be there for my family. So I did my research on different bariatric centers in the area and...
