Greetings to all who are considering Gastric Bypass Laproscopic. First have your surgery by Dr. Jeffrey Lord at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, Florida. He is the best, as is his staff, from the front desk, to nurses, to finance, to nutrition, to Jan Carlo, who explains everything in detail regarding getting ready for surgery, the day of surgery, and immediately after surgery. The book they give you the first day you see Dr. Lord is essential for success. Read it, reread it, then study it before surgery and refer to it after surgery. This is the most important course you will ever study, this is your life we are talking about. Follow what it says, and you will have an easy recovery--and an easy time of it the rest of your life. The thing I found most interesting is that I was finally satisfied with what I ate, without being so stuffed I had to sleep it off. I no longer had toeat an entire large pizza, a gallon of ice cream and a bag of chips for dinner to feel stuffed with food--the only time I would stop. I was hungry all the time before surgery. Now, three weeks after surgery I have 2 ounces of protein, a little cooked veggies, some canned fruit and I am full and satisfied and I can stay awake after eating. I will get more food choices after my 6th week, but for now it feels sooo good not to be a slave to food any more. In this short time I have lost 24 pounds and have gone from a 2X to a Large already. Thank you Dr. Lord for getting my life back. Now I go everywhere with or without my husband, instead of having to continually having to opt out of activities because I was too busy loading up at fast food places, grocery stores, and the candy racks at pharmacies and then feel too stuffed to go anywhere or do anything besides laying on the couch watching or sleeping through HBO. Not only does my future look brighter--I feel like I have a future, and it looks pretty good to me. The toll free number for Dr. Lord is 866-399-1487. Good luck and God bless you. Debbie Phillips

Congradulations on your success. I am also from Pensacola but had my surgery by the most wonderful man in the world Dr. Nye. Glad to know there are others on here from Pensacola.

Aren't we all just a little bit in love with the gifted surgeon who gives us our life back? I think so. Congratulations on your success! I lived in Pensacola from 1999 - 2001, btw. Kristen

I have my first consult for the lapband procedure with Dr. Lord in February. Hopefully, everything will fall into place and I will have the surgery in a reasonable time thereafter. I'm reading everything I can with regard to lapband. I'm looking forward to my new, slimmer me!
