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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
