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,

Good luck to you! I had my surgery done in Little Rock by Dr. Rex Luttrell. He's great!

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.

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!!!

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.

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!

Hello, I am anxious to get my band and get started. Dr. Wellborn in Little Rock is my surgeon. 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

I attended the latter part of August if I remember correctly. I don't remember the exact day.
