I am considering using Luttrell, was your experience good? and do you have any regrets or issue?

I met with Dr. Luttrell, my insurance would not cover Dr. Wellborn. Interestingly we have to go to Hope for the surgery.

Think about that Greg. I dont want to lead you astray, but just think about that. There is so much more than getting the Band installed. There is education and followup and AVAILABILITY.Something just doesnt smell right about that set up.

I had a great experience with Dr. Luttrell and in 10 months I have lost 83 pounds! He is doing surgery still so I would highly recommend him! He has a great bedside manner.

On Dr. Wellborn, I know someone who had surgery done with him and he raves on how great it the experience was!

Hey Greg, I would not hesitate about Dr. Luttrell. He is great and so is his staff. Best of luck to you. You can PM me if you want too.

I had my band done on 4/13/09 by Dr. Luttrell in Hope. Everything has gone really well. I am very impressed with Dr Luttrell, his staff and with the staff in Hope. I don't regret my decession for a moment. There has never been ANY wait to reach Dr Luttrell or Erin.

After some previous posting on this thread, I went with Doctor Luttrell. I was banded in Hope on March 16th. He is a wonderful doctor, good at making sure you are set, not he is set. Both him and Erin are very understanding and easy to talk to and I am so glad I went with him. I am down 50 plus pounds, have moved from a 46 to 42 inch waist and feel great. So if you are thinking about who to use, you might want to consider Dr. Luttrell. He has group the last Thursday of the month and I have been to two of them and both time he was there to make sure all questions are answered. Great Doctor and Great Support.
