Dr. Caluda, Pensacola Florida..



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had any experience with this doctor?

When I spoke to my Doctor he said he was going to send me to see Dr. Nye in Penascola (whom I researched and was feeling quite comfortable with) but my refferal came in the mail today and it tells me to call Dr. Caluda. I don't know much about him and can't find much on him when I do a seach. I did find a site for his surgical clinic but that gives little information as well. :phanvan

I looked to see if I could find anything on him on Obesity Help, but I couldn't find his name. There was a Dr. Joseph Colleta, though, in Boca Raton, but he does RNY.

Nope the insurance company got it wrong. It was Dr. Lord in Pensacola. I have a tentative appointment to see him as well as Dr. Nye also in Pensacola. I will get to choose after all!!

Can't wait for a Monday!

Hello Sissy,

Please keep in touch with me and let me know which doctor you decided to go with. Dr. Lord's office moved my appointment up to March 17th. I was told that Dr. Lord prefers to do Gastric By Pass surgery instead of the band.

I am seeing Dr. Lord in Pensacola as well for the Lap Band Procedure. It does appear that he prefers the Gastric Bypass, however he was wonderful about listening to me and my concerns,and at the conclusion of the consult said, 'Well for you, I think the lap band makes an excellent choice."

Not that Dr. Nye does not have a great reputation, but Dr. Lord is awesome and comes very recommended by several physicians in the area and tons of happy post op patients (I feel like I have talked to all of them!)

In addition, Dr. Lord's team is wonderful; they are all a class act!

Good Luck and keep us posted!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
