Hi Arkansas Bandsters,

I am about to move to Conway for at least a year from Lubbock, TX, and am looking for a doc to do any fills or help with any problems should they come up. I had my band done in Texas a little over 2 years ago. I'm looking for any opinions/recommendations for a doctor in the Little Rock area. I am considering right now Dr. Wellborn, Dr. Baker, Dr. Luttrell, and maybe Dr. Gibbs in Searcy.

I'm mostly just looking for a place that is comfortable and helpful if I get freaked out about any problems. I haven't had many, but a few times things have gotten irritated and I needed to go on liquids for a few days to calm it down or have an unfill. My current doc has been great about helping out with that. His nurse gives some advice on the phone so I can try to not have to come in, since I am self-pay.

Anyhoo...does anyone have any advice?

Thanks.

I am moving there too and need a doc too!

I'm pretty sure Wellborn will only see his own surgical patients. Sorry ;-(

I am with the Wellborn clinic and he does take patients who move to Arkansas from another state!

I used Dr. Baker for the gastric bypass RNY in 2003. Last time I seen him was 2012 due to me moving away from Arkansas. He is WONDERFUL AND fantastic after care! Tell him Janine Said hi ☺️ let me know if you want any info. I'll try & help
