    Drinking Soda

    DrRX - Tulsa posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

    I have been reading some of the posts and it sounds like you cannot drink Diet soda anymore. Is that true. I have a consultation on July 2 so I haven't be able to ask any questions yet.:phanvan

    Amieru, I am from Tulsa. The doctor's office doesn't help you find a fill dr. However, there are several places in OKC and Norman that do. If you go to the Oklahoma thread under USA and Local support they can tell where to go. Hope that helps. PS I am going to Southcrest for my fills. aubrey

    BTW, Woofay, I hope the fill does the trick!

    Yes I really am freaky excited. It seemed like it wasn't real until they set the date. I do need some advice though. A part of me feels like I should eat whatever I want until I go on the Pre-Op diet, but another part of me feels like I should continue to try to diet. What did you guys do?

    My doctor is putting on phentermine

    DrRX - Tulsa replied to mommy2kyler's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    Phentermine is only supposed to be used for about 3 months at a time. Almost everyone who uses phentermine gets tachyphylaxis which means your body gets used to it and it doesn't work anymore. It can raise your blood pressure and cause insomnia.

    Aleve & Advil: DO NOT try this at home!!!!

    DrRX - Tulsa replied to TerriDoodle's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    NSAIDs, even if they are liquid or injections can still cause ulcers, so you still have to be careful. They block COX, (this relieves the pain) COX also protects your stomach from stomach acid.

    Marcy, I called Dr. K's office this morning and they were so helpful. They already scheduled my surgery for August 22. I can't believe it happened so quickly!! You will have to let me know how it went for you! Aubrey

    Trying to find a Dr.

    DrRX - Tulsa posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    Hey guys, I know I am from Oklahoma, but I am trying to find a doctor close to me that charges a reasonable amount. In my area it is around $20,000. I was reading a thread by some people about a surgeon at Tallgrass that does them for $10,500. I can't find the tread anymore. Does anyone know anything about that clinic or the doctor. I would appreciate any info you guys have. Thanks, Aubrey

    Was it hard using Dr. K even though you are not from Colorado. I am considering using him as well. Did he schedule all of your consultations on the same day? I guess I am asking how you did everything? Aubrey:help:

    Hi everyone! I am Aubrey from Tulsa, OK. I have my first consultation on July 2. Anyone here used any docs in Tulsa. Trying to find out how much it will cost because I am self-pay. After reading this site, I am tempted to go to Dr. K in Denver.

    It costs $9500 in Denver. I was worried about what would happen about the fills. Thanks for the info. Aubrey

    DrRX - Tulsa replied to tonya66's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    Any of you use Dr. Katsis. I have my educational meeting on July 2 with Dr. Katsis and Dr. Fisher. I will be self-pay. I am trying to find out how much they charge because I am trying to decide if I want to go to Denver for the surgery. I haven't had much luck with their business office. They tell me they will go over all of that at the educational meeting. Any help would be appreciated!!!
