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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
