Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am a newbie to this site and am only in the "starting to plan" stage. I really want to have the Lap Band. I live in South Central AR and plan to have my surgery in Little Rock. If you do not mind, may I ask who your surgeon was. Thanks,;)

I actually had planned on using Dr. Wellborn but it took them so long to get to my packet, I went with Dr. Luttrell. I have a friend who used him and have heard he's a really good physician. I'm sure you are in great hands. Good luck to you!!!

Hello, I am planning on being banded as soon as I can and plan to use Dr. Wellborn. I have been to one of his seminars and enjoyed it greatly. I could not attend the Walk From Obesity last Saturday but I made a donation and they told me it would count as one of my support group meetings. I am excited about the surgery. I have not actually been in for my first visit yet but hopefully soon.

Hey Arkansans-

My name is Ashley and I was banded on 10/4/07 by Dr. Rex Luttrell. Aside from the expected port soreness and gas pain, I'm doing pretty good. Surgery was on Thursday and it's Monday--I'm back at work!

Good luck to all of you!

Hello, I am anxious to get my band and get started. Dr. Wellborn in Little Rock is my surgeon. I have been to his seminar and have my packet ready to go in. I went to my primary M.D. today and got the lab done and he is going to do the letter of referral and send along with my records to Dr. Wellborn. I am hoping to get to see Dr. Wellborn soon so maybe I can get my band by the last of Nov. or the first of Dec. Brenda

      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?
      Thanks

      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! 😞
