bandster_1007 1 Posted July 15, 2008 truly country my best advise is start trying to exercise now, and cut out simple sugars. it will help a lot after surgery. also, do not expect the world, that way if you get it you will be pleasantly surprised. be prepared to lose weight slow. i have only lost 14 lbs since october, but that is 14 lbs that i probably would have gained otherwise.

flowergurl 0 Posted July 16, 2008 Hi all, I'm bouncing back in here just to add some info about Protein stuff...I have found the Atkins Protein Drinks to be WONDERFUL! I have only tried to 2 different chocolate drinks (b/c I'm a chocolate lover) but they are truly wonderful. One drink is what I have for Breakfast & it is 15g of protein. At night, when I take pills & before bed, I am also drinking an 8oz glass of Skinny Cow (fat free chocolate milk) and it is 9g protein in just the 8oz. I know I appreciate the tidbits when it comes to foods...so I just wanted to share & see if anyone else is drinking the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bandster_1007 1 Posted July 21, 2008 i was told that after i had my surgery from a lady that works at my doctor's office. all i know is that if your doctor can only do surgery in a "surgery center" i would be wary...however, wellborn, baker, and the guy with baker are all good and clear.

keri236 0 Posted July 23, 2008 Hello everyone, I was banded by dr. luttrell on july 14. I havent heard the rumors before now. But I went to a few different seminars and chose dr. luttrell. He and his staff were great. I go back for my 2 week follow-up next Tuesday. I would recommend him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princessmom 0 Posted July 23, 2008 I was banded by Dr. Luttrell in May 2007. Other than minor problems after surgery I have no trouble at all. I'm down 90 pounds and am going to get my next fill in August. Dr. Luttrell's surgery center is a professional surgery center and I don't think you have anything to worry about. Good Luck!

lucylou 0 Posted July 23, 2008 Research and research some more, ask all your friends, neighbors, co-workers ect, you might be surprised at what you might find out, just because they are a surgeon doesn't mean they are capable. Before you put yourself in someone elses hands for an elective procedure be 100% certain. Again i cannot stress enough to check-check and check some more.

lucylou 0 Posted July 24, 2008 If you know anybody in the medical field ask questions, google, call arkansas medical board, search pulaski county civil suits on the county clerks website. Do some research on whomever you choose. This board opened my eyes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
