I currently have a lap band surgery day coming up with Dr. Wellborn.  Although my impression of him has been good personally in my interactions with him up to this point, I have been hearing several other negitive comments regarding his surgical outcomes such as high incidents of infections and other complications.  Some of these comments have come from the nurses that have worked with his patients post-op and give me very strong negitive reactions towards him doing my surgery.  Several of them have recommended not to go to Dr. Wellborn and to check out Dr. Baker specifically.  

Although I am not torn about the actual Lap Band procedure, I am conflicted on what I should do.  Seeing that on this website under the MD reviews, both have positive reviews, more comments for Dr. Baker.  There also seem to be quite a few Dr. Baker patients but not too many Dr. Wellborn patients.

I am very anxious to have the surgery done as we're all set up and ready to go but just want to be sure I'm picking the right surgeon.

Anybody have anything that can help me out??

Thanks

I am actually in town this month so plan to be there.  I am a Dr. Gibbs patient- had lapband in 2008.  Hope to see you Thursday.

Baptist Hospital.
The pre op group meets from 6:00- 7:30 in Gilbreath room #22, basement level, behind the cafeteria. Since you haven't had surgery yet, I suggest you go to the pre op meeting where you will learn what will happen during your hospital stay.

The post op group will join that group around 7:00

I'm a Gibbs pt, too, so come introduce yourself!

Onderland is better than OZ!!!  Congratulations, Honey!
