Does anyone in Little Rock or Fayettville offer the Lap Band/Gastric Plication Combo procedure? I had this surgery in March, and now my wife wants it. The problem is; her insurance requires a Center of Excellence, so we are looking for someone is one of these two areas who offers this procedure.

 I don't know if anyone in LR does that surgery, you would just need to call around.  But I do know that Baptist Hosp in LR is a Centers of Excellence.  I had to wait over 2 years for my surgery because of waiting for a COE.  Baptist was the first in the state, I think Vincents may be one now as well.  

Try googling some weight loss surgery Dr's in the areas and check out their websites.  A few in LR I know of that do WLS surgery of different types is Dr. Baker, Dr. Gibbs and Dr. Wellborn.  

Here is ObesityHelps list of surgeons in our state.  I hope this helps.
