southerngal_07 0 Posted August 13, 2007 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, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abominableglib 0 Posted August 13, 2007 Good luck to you! I had my surgery done in Little Rock by Dr. Rex Luttrell. He's great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
southerngal_07 0 Posted August 14, 2007 Hi, I am planning on using Dr. Clay Wellborne. Have you heard anything about him? I have heard good things so far. Nice to hear from you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abominableglib 0 Posted August 14, 2007 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!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

southerngal_07 0 Posted September 28, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hvnagdtme 0 Posted October 8, 2007 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
