bentonhuey... I originally went to Dr. Wellborn's seminar at the recommendation of a friend that had the procedure done by Dr. Wellborn. He was very satisfied and the procedure has been very successful for him. It's possible that the reason Jamie was ignoring my case was because I'm on Medicare. I also have very good additional insurance if Medicare did not pay. I found Jamie's approach very unprofessional. She justs leave potential patiants hanging out to dry...no feedback whatsoever. Yet Dr. Wellborn's whole staff at the seminal was very quick to bad mouth the insurance companies. I should be very thankful that I did not get the procedure. By reading some of the Lap Band forums, I found that many people were having to stay at 1500 calories a day after the procedure. I started using the Lose It program on the web and have been very successful...lost 40 lbs since mid February. Have another 60 lbs to go to meet my goal. I've found it very easy to change my eating habits and feel it will be pretty easy to keep the weight off. Plus...no out of pocket expense...and no chance of having to have a procedure reversed. Best of luck to you, God bless

I went to the seminar, turned in all the paper work and did not hear back about scheduling the surgery. I called Jamie (office scheduler) several times and she kept putting me off about scheduling even a prelimanary appointment with Dr Wellborn. I do not trust this office and believe they must only be interested in you if you want to pay cash or finance the bill through the loan company they recommend. I would recommend that you stay away from this office. By the way...have went on the Lose-it program and have lost 35 pounds in the past 3 months. If interested, you may want to try this this program before undergoing surgery.
