Surgeon Testimonial

Jeffrey Lord, M.D.
I am a 44 year old lady with many health issues. Dr. Lord went through my medical records and told me I was one of the sickest patients that he had ever seen. He also told me that if I did not have the gastric bypass, I would probably not be here in ten years. While that was hard to hear, I needed to hear it. I am glad that Dr. Lord was honest with me.
His seminar provided a lot of valuable information. I was really excited to meet him. I found him to be very confident in his ability. I also thought he had a wealth of knowledge. I felt very safe under his care. The day of my surgery, he came in and talked to my husband and me before I went into to the operation room. His staff was great!!
One thing that I really appreciated about his program was the classes that he requires you to take before having the surgery. I still have every handout and the booklet they was given to me. I go back and read them ever so often. I feel that I was well prepared before surgery as to what it would be like at the time of surgery and life afterwards. I have spoken with many people that have had the gastric bypass from different states. I have also discovered that not all had the classes like I had. Those patients that did not have the classes well have not done as well as I have done.
I just had my checkup with Dr. Lord and according to his scales I have lost 91 lbs in 6 1/2 months. I am very happy with my progress thus far. I firmly believe that Dr. Lord has a talent and a gift in the area of weight loss surgery. He is one of the best!!! Well really the best in my book! I tell everyone about him. Everywhere I go I talk to someone about this surgery and how it and Dr. Lord has changed my life!
I thank God above for allowing me to be successful and getting through this surgery. I also thank God for allowing me to meet and become a patient of Dr. Lord's.
Dr. Lord is the kind of person that tells it just like it is. I trust him competely. When a doctor tells you to check him out that says something about him. I honestly would recommend him to anyone!
Gastric bypass surgery is a serious operation and one thing for sure you better know your doctor. You should feel comfortable and safe under their care. Thast is how I felt about Dr. Lord. The surgery is a TOOL not a fix all!!! You have to do your part and follow the rules comepetely. When I had questions, his office staff, his asst. and Dr. Lord has answered them in t timely manner. His staff is the best in the business. The Scared Heart Hospital is top notch. I would never want to go any other place. They have a whole floor dedicated to just weight loss surgery patients. They know what they are doing!
I wish you the best of luck in your journey. My journey is still in the beginning stages and it will continue for the rest of my life. You have to look at this surgery as a new beginning and make the changes and never go back to what you used to do. If you do you will regain it all back like some of my friends have in other states. This is why I feel that Dr. Lord's program is the best because he prepares you for what is ahead of you for the rest of your life. Good luck! God bless you along the way. Thanks Dr. Lord for being so honest and great at your job!!!!

Four weeks post-op
posted on 12/8/10 2:50 pm
Well my surgery was Nov. 8, 2010 with Dr. Lord from Pensacola, Fl. Everything went really good. He is the best in the world in my opinion. I had a hard time at first keeping things down while in the hospital but not for long. I was eating too fast. I figured that out and have not had anymore problems.
I have lost a total of 36 lbs in four weeks so I think I am doing great.  23 lbs came off the first 12 days after surgery. I was so happy. I go back to see doctor Dec. 22nd and I will post an update from that. Best decision I made was with Dr. Lord and having the surgery gastric bypass.
