Dr. Tim Eldridge - Introductions



Recommended Posts

Maybe we should just get this started by some basic introductions. So, if Dr. Timothy Eldridge was your surgeon, please take a moment to introduce yourself. Let me get the ball rolling.

Hi. My name is Paula. I had my surgery on June 18, 2008. I am very happy with the progress of my weight loss. Dr. Eldridge and his staff were great. The surgery center he uses was wonderful. I would recommend him to anyone considering this surgery.

My name is Teri. Dr. E did my lapband in February 08. I have lost pretty consistently and have I believe 6.0 cc in my band. I am one of his research patients for the allergan band and I love it! My health is what drove me to get a lapband primarily. I had a liver that was full of fatty deposits and even though I had started a pretty good down hill slide on a diet it just wasn't going fast enough for my liver to regenerate..thus the decision to get the lap band. His associate Dr. Jackson had removed my gall bladder so I had already met Dr. Eldridge before lapband became a word in my vocabulary..he is a terrific doctor!

Dr. E did my surgery in late Nov. I'm pretty happy with my weightloss, it's very slow going. I've lost about 50lbs, and I guess I thought I would have lost more by now but slow is good. And I'm not perfect by any means. I really like him, and I like most of his staff. I was shocked by how easy the whole process was, I didn't suffer from any of the pain or gas or problems that so many people seemed to suffer from. I credit that to him.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
