Recommended Posts

HELP PLEASE!!!

I am researching doctors and I have 3 in mind.

Dr. Wellborn

Dr. Luttrell

DR. Gibbs

1. Who do you recommend and why? If none of these then who?

2. Did you check out any other doctors and why didnt you choose the others?

3. FINALLY I have been hearing a rumor that there is a doctor in Little Rock who is not allowed to pratice at a hospital anymore and has been praticing at a private facality. Has anyone heard of this and does anyone really know why?

This is my life I need to know!!!:)

yes it is your life!. I have had a procedure done by Dr. Wellborn many years ago. He was great and very professional. I went to his seminar as well as one other Dr on the list. One was in the hosp, and one in the private practice office. Both handled very professional...

Go to more than one,,,smell the air, let your heart guide you.

i was actually told about that rumor by a lady at my doctor's office. she said she new it for a fact, because she works in the field, but would not tell me the name of the doctor. she said he has to do the surgeries in a "surgery center" because he is not allowed to work at several hospitals in the area.

i found this out after a neighbor of a coworker died for no explained reason just a few months after is lap band.

Regrettably there is a surgeon from Little Rock that is still practicing Lap Band surgery that reportedly has lost privileges at multiple hospitals in Little Rock. I understand he has resorted to taking his patients out of Little Rock to a small hospital in a small town that has given him privileges.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
