Anyone banded in Arkansas? I'm looking particularly into James Wellborn and Rex Luttrell in Little Rock, but any info at all about these or other doctors is most welcome!

go to dallas. Dr. Richard Benevides is GREAT. look up Lap band solutions on the net.

Texarkana has a great team of Lap Band doctors, Dr. Ron Hekier and Dr. Rachael Keilin, at Precision Surgery. They have astounding success and would likely be cheaper than Dallas or Little Rock.

Dr. Wellborn is my doctor. I feel like he is very knowledgable! I was reading on the boards about the new band that came out in June, only to find out that he was able to get it for me in May! I think he really keeps up with the research and that impressed me.

Have you been to a seminar?

I went to Wellburn seminar was impressed but insuarnace wouldnt cover him. my insurance will pay for Dr. Baker and Dr. Gibbs. I have researched both and Dr. Baker seems very well decorated as a surgeon and the nurse was a hoot to talk to, very personable.

One thing i have read on this site about Wellburn is that he is SOOOO busy that it can be hard to get in for an unscheduled fill or visit- some said even MONTHS. But every one has said he is a great doctor with a caring manor.

April, how cool is this to be in Conway too? Do you work in Conway? What part are you in. I am in the Southwest part. I am excited for you. Tell me all about you. When you may get surgery too. I think most doctors that do lapbands are fine.
