Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Dr. Jeffrey Lord (Sacred Heart Hospital, Pensacola Florida)



Recommended Posts

I didn't get my surgery done by him but, seeing as I moved to a new state, he is looking after me...or so I assumed.

His office staff is lack, they take forever to send a fax or make an appointment.

The doctor himself never has a sense of caring or urgency and he always sounds annoyed with his patients.

I've been bleeding from my rectum since February and he hasn't done a thing about it.

So I encourage you to NOT go to him if you're in the Pensacola area.

I almost used him but the staff like you said weren't caring at all! I'm so glad I didn't go to him now for sure! If you live in Pcola,Mobile isn't that far and I use Dr Dusty Smith with Mobile Surgical Association! I love her! She actually teared with me when I went back to my 1 week post op after losing 24lbs! Tears of happiness of course!!

I had a good experience with Doctor Lord but I started the process with him.

Dr. Gatmatain at Baptist weight loss center is amazing and his dietician Ashton is so knowledgable. Best of all I have their cell phone numbers if I need anything or am questioning something post op!
I went to them for help after having my band removed 4 years ago. I ended up getting RNY 4 days ago. I had an excessive amount of scar tissue from the lap band but Dr. G had me out in 3 hours when he quoted my family 4! He checked on me in the hospital each day :) he did the same for my best friend. He absolutely cares!! He is also just as talented a surgeon as Dr.Lord (they both learned the technique from the same dr) but with Dr.G you gain a family member and feel heard.
I’ve seen Dr. Lord when I was 5 years out with my lap band. I’d gotten to goal weight but flying screwed me up and he and his staff were awful to me. I went to the er after that for help with my band.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
