Matthew 26:41

41 "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."

Jeffrey Lord, M.D.

Dr. Lord has been doing bariatric surgeries for 10 years, 8 of those years he has been doing laparoscopically. He has the highest degree possible in bariatric surgery. He instructs other surgeons on laparoscopic surgery. He is a member of ASBS and SAGES. He has a zero mortality rate, and a less than 2 percent short term complication rate and no long term complications. He has performed over He practices in Pensacola, Florida. The hospital he uses is Sacred Heart Hospital.

Several of his staff members have had the gastric bypass in the past. Everyone in his office is very friendly and knowledgeable.

This is the review that I gave him: “My first impression of Dr. Lord, was, "Wow, He knows what he is talking about, and is sure of it." He is very confident, which is good in a surgeon. He is very direct, and pulls no punches. He explains everything thoroughly. He expects every patient to be successful. He takes the time to listen and answer all of your questions. The ONLY thing I did NOT like was he was resolute on me having a catheter in after surgery. He said I had to have it, no matter how much I begged and pleaded. His staff is awesome, everyone is friendly, and some are especially knowledgeable, having had the surgery themselves. After care is very important to him as he wants to follow his patients closely. I am traveling 2 hours to see him and have surgery, and he insists I stay in a hotel close by for the first week. He wants to be sure his patients are healthy. He went over all the complications of the surgery, his stats vs. the national stats... and his are very good!!! His surgical competence is superb. He instructs other surgeons on this procedure, and his qualifications are magnificent. If the visit is indicative of his bedside manner, then he is sure to have a great one! I am putting my life in his, and God's, hands and I trust them both. I would recommend him to anyone.”

I am traveling 2 hours to see him, and have him do my surgery. I think it is very worth it. My husband like his directness, and feels secure in his abilities. Everyone I have spoken to about him can’t stop praising him. I am glad that I found him. You can visit his OBESITY HELP profile to learn more about him.
