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!

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

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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
