Eric Thoburn
"I liked Dr Thoburn from the begining....still do. He has an office staff that is very friendly. David takes care of nutrition issues post-op, and I feel as if he knows what he's talking about. The office has a list of dates for the support group which is very helpful. I just went to my first meeting and I plan to continue going. Not only are the questions that you have answered but you make new friends along the way. Dr Thoburn is very direct about risks of surgery. He stated like with any surgery there are risks...and then he stated them. I would rate Dr Thoburn with a 9 out of 10. I would have given him a 10 if my incision was half the size. I have a co-worker with a much smaller incision and I wonder if she had the same type of operation....staples. I have nothing but good to say about my experience. Healing took a little longer than I thought it would, I guess I'm just getting older. I'm new to Gainesville and North Florida Medical Center was the first hospital visit for me. I think I will call this my new hospital, they were outstanding. I have only one thing to say for people thinking about getting this done......if there is any other way to loose the weight do it that way first. This is a drastic change and not the easiest to get used to. Eat slowly and chew chew chew. Remember that you are full in a few bites. Good luck."
