Surgeon Testimonial Jeffrey Lord, M.D. I thought he was outstanding, personable and above all knowledgeable. He treats me with respect, and realistic in explaining the expectations for me. He and his staff have been very efficient and helpful. He is very enthusiastic about his job; his staff offers comfort when it all seems overwhelming. As everybody knows, “The Lord knows best”.

My Story My name is Ángeles and I am from Spain (Sevilla) and I love Florida :) I have been on this site so many hours! I have so much to say but my English is not good and I feel embarrassed. I have finally decided to begin the WLS process after more than 10 years of trying to lose weight through a myriad of diets. For years I have told myself that I was ok with the state of my life and every Monday would be the beginning of a new diet, which would fail by Wednesday. I convinced myself that my appearance would not get in the way of leading a full and productive life, but my excess weight has not only taken a toll on my self-esteem but it has also exacerbated weight related health issues. About 6 month ago I decided I needed to get healthy. Now I'm just tired of taking medications to control my diabetes and high cholesterol. I'm hoping that, as well as looking and feeling better, that I can achieve and maintain a healthier life. I began to fix my mind and realized I needed help to fix my body. I weigh 250 lbs but 1 year ago I was 292 I lost some weigh but I was not happy it all because I am not feeling motivate and with sooooo poor energy. I went to a doctor (Dr Mason) and he was really nice, he listen to me and he saw my medical record and notice I am been trying to lose weight forever. I mentioned the gastric bypass surgery and he put a referral. (Dr Lord) Now I am excited to meet Dr Lord and see what happen after the first visit. |
