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 LAP-BAND® 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 LAP-BAND® 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 LAP-BAND® 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.
