Dr Lord is doing my surgery on May 19, 2014.

I'm in Lake Worth but having my surgery at Holy Cross Hospital in Ft. Lauderdale with Dr. Perez. If all goes as planned, I'll be having the surgery in September. I can't hardly wait. Just working on my patience and also trying to get my A1C down so I'll hopefully have no complications after surgery.

I had my surgery 7-2-12 with Dr.Sharma in Jacksonville. Now I live in Fort Lauderdale. Anyone know of a support group in Fort Lauderdale?

I haven't started going yet since I haven't had my surgery but Holy Cross Hospital offers a support group once a month on a Tuesday night. I'm sure you can find the dates on their website.

I'm in Ft Lauderdale. Had my surgery at memorial hospital in Hollywood with Dr Eckstein

Hi Holly! We have the same doctor! I haven't been sleeved yet but I will very soon. Any pros or cons? I've only met him once and I feel that I know the nutritionist more than I know him

I'm new here and live in Pensacola, anyone in or around this area? I will be having my surgery in Nov. anyone else having surgery around this time?

I'm in Fort Walton beach but will be going to Pensacola and having surgery done with Dr. Lord. My consult is on Sept. 2. How long after your initial consult could I expect to get a surgery date?

I had my surgery with dr lord on 5/19/14 and I live in panama city beach, fl. You are in good hands. He is a wonderful surgeon. You get a surgery date after they get insurance approval.

I'm sorry anewme954 I just saw this! I have n complaints at all about Dr Eckstein or his staff. They were all awesome very patient and kind. I've not had an complications at all from my surgery and recovery went really well. I met with Cristina 3 times and saw Dr Eckstein several times at my first appt, he did my Endoscopy and then my pre op right before surgery. Very good bedside manner and always made himself avaliable

Thanks for responding! I'm just seeing your response as well. My phone never notifies me. I'm scheduled for 10/28 and a little nervous. I feel a little better after you telling me about your experience. What did you use for your 7 day preop diet?
