Hi everyone!

Do any of you know of a surgeon that performs the VSG close to Pensacola or Mobile area?

You might want to call Dr. Lord's office.  I think he does the VSG.

Dr. Althar in Milton performs VSG. He was my 2nd choice for revision from band to sleeve. His office staff is awesome, very supportive and always willing to answer questions.

Melissa helped me a lot when I was looking at revision surgeons. The only reason I didn't choose him is because he had never performed a band removal. He hates the band and refuses to perform the surgery.

You betcha, the husband is stationed out of Hurlburt Field, and we live in Navarre. If you need anything, feel free to shoot me a message, and I'll be more than happy to help you out. Milton is pretty close to us so if you need a buddy or a support person, I'll be more than happy to be there for you if needed.

I really appreciated Dr. Althar's office staff, and their willingness to assist me. Plus, they were extremely honest with his skill level, and comfort level with my band complications.


I met with Dr. Lord, and was not impressed, plus his office was not very supportive. That was just my personal experience/opinion, but other people love him dearly.

Thank you, thank you.  I need both a buddy and a support person.  I know I will have a million questions before and after surgery.  Thank you again for stepping up to be my angel.
