Moving to Arkansas



Recommended Posts

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'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

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
