Hello my name is Alissia and I am starting my journey. I am planning on being banded in December by Dr. Wellborn in Little Rock. I look forward to talking to ya'll.

Thanks!

AWESOME! Me too! I am starting this and my first stop is with Dr. Welborn at his seminar on Tuesday! Mommathang, how did the seminar and the consultation go? What didi he say!! Is insurance paying??

welcome mommathang!!!!! i'm glad to see you on here!!! there is a lot of support on this forum. i'm being banded by Dr. Wellborn on Thursday. I live in Jacksonville.

That's awesome! I am going to my seminar Tuesday night and I am so excited. How is Dr. Wellborn? One of the selling points for me was that he is associated with St. Vincents. So far everyone in his office has been so helpful. Any advice?

i did post some info on the arkansas bandsters??? forum. but it was more about insurance. i have not been in the office but i will go today and i will let you know. i had my date and everything before i ever went to a seminar. i was having a lot of anxiety. however, when i went to the seminar and i listened to dr. wellborn and his staff i was at peace. i am very comfortable with him.

his staff have all had the band, so that is helpful (his wife hasn't). they all know what you are going through, and they are fast to answer questions via e-mail or phone.

i don't have any advice yet, but i will let you know tonight after i go.

i have another friend who is going to the seminar tuesday. it is an extremely informative seminar. some staff members are there to answer questions, and if jamie is there she will let you feel of her port!!! i didn't do it, i tend to not do well in front of crowds, but i'm going to ask to today :cool:.

Hey there! Just wanted to drop in and say that I found out my consultation day is Nov 7. I can't wait!!!!
