Hi,

My name is Lisa and I am looking for anyone that lives in Arkansas that has had LapBand surgery and did they have it done in the US or Mexico. I am looking at going to Mexico to Dr. Aceves. Has anyone had any experiences with this Dr? Where are you Arkansas's getting your after care , such as fills etc or if any complications have come up? Please get in touch with me at lgr00_00@yahoo.com. I would appreciate ANY information, good or bad with the lapband surgery, places, and prices of refills etc.

Thanks so much

LisaR

Hi all, I'm bouncing back in here just to add some info about protein stuff...I have found the Atkins protein drinks to be WONDERFUL! I have only tried to 2 different chocolate drinks (b/c I'm a chocolate lover) but they are truly wonderful. One drink is what I have for breakfast & it is 15g of protein. At night, when I take pills & before bed, I am also drinking an 8oz glass of Skinny Cow (fat free chocolate milk) and it is 9g protein in just the 8oz. I know I appreciate the tidbits when it comes to foods...so I just wanted to share & see if anyone else is drinking the same?

ok does anyone know about these rumors of a "outcasted" doctor

I would be very interested in some more facts myself about the ousted doctor!

Me to. I have not heard anything about this doctor, but it would not surprise me.

i was told that after i had my surgery from a lady that works at my doctor's office. all i know is that if your doctor can only do surgery in a "surgery center" i would be wary...however, wellborn, baker, and the guy with baker are all good and clear.

ok, ya'll are scareing me. I am planning on proceeding with surgery with Luttrell that works out of a surgery center............should my eyes need to be opened to some truths? Truths,,,, not hear say.

Hello everyone, I was banded by dr. luttrell on july 14. I havent heard the rumors before now. But I went to a few different seminars and chose dr. luttrell. He and his staff were great. I go back for my 2 week follow-up next Tuesday. I would recommend him.

I was banded by Dr. Luttrell in May 2007. Other than minor problems after surgery I have no trouble at all. I'm down 90 pounds and am going to get my next fill in August. Dr. Luttrell's surgery center is a professional surgery center and I don't think you have anything to worry about. Good Luck!

Research and research some more, ask all your friends, neighbors, co-workers ect, you might be surprised at what you might find out, just because they are a surgeon doesn't mean they are capable. Before you put yourself in someone elses hands for an elective procedure be 100% certain. Again i cannot stress enough to check-check and check some more.

Are you sure?

What exactly have you heard about Dr. Luttrell?

I havent heard a word about any Surgeon, makes me nervous when fears start croppin up

If you know anybody in the medical field ask questions, google, call arkansas medical board, search pulaski county civil suits on the county clerks website. Do some research on whomever you choose. This board opened my eyes.

giggleadp,

I tried to call you today from 2J to talk to you. Do you know who I am? Got lots of interesting information last couple of days and I am going to Dr. Bakers seminar next Tuesday and have an appt with him next Thursday. I am off tomorrow but I will try to call you Friday at work.

hey, sorry I was off sick. I am going to try to come in today. Give me a call today or Friday. You will love Dr. Baker and his group.
