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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
