Any Bandsters in Oklahoma City?



Recommended Posts

Hi all!! I'm moving to Oklahoma City/Edmond in a few weeks (from Nebraska)! I'm going to be in need of a new doctor, support group, gym & trainer. Are there any bandsters in the OKC area that could recommend any of the above to me? Also, if you're in the market for a "buddy" I'd be up for that too!

Thanks!!

Thanks for suggestion. I know Norman is close, I might have to check that out. I'm really concerned about the gym/trainer situation. I need someone who knows what they are doing. I wanna look like a whole new me by time I see all my old friends/family in Nebraska at Christmas!

I'm in Oklahoma City and was banded 4/20/10 by Dr. Gornichec. Support group is 1st Sat of the month and 3rd Tuesday. I'm very pleased so far. Email me or send me a note if you want more info. Support group is at Integris Hospital on NW Expressway and I'd be more than happy to meet you there to show you the way to the group:thumbup:

Hi Fluffy! Good to see you on here. My wife and I live in Edmond and were just banded in Jan. and March of this year. You'll find that this area has 3 major weight loss centers- Edmond's Weight Wise, the Norman center (not sure of it's name) , and the the OK lap band center at St. Anthony's. (This is in downtown OKC)

My wife and I both see Dr. Tim Eldridge at St. Anthony's. Website: Timothy J. Eldridge, MD & Svein M. Holsaeter, MD :: Home I can't say enough about the staff and him as a surgeon. I would definitely recommend him.

Let me know if you need any other info...

Ah I used to live in Edmond and the gym I went to was very nice and 24 hours very clean and their trainers worked with me well. If anything you should go get a tour of the place I loved it but now I live in Cali I miss my favorite places there :)

Welcome to Oklahoma! My Dr is Dr. Gornichec and I love him. His staff is amazing. They also have a partnership with a gym called Pacer. I think is what it is called. They have exercise consultants there. I don't get to use it b/c I live in Stillwater but I so would if I lived close. He is is located in Integris Baptist. I have had a wonderful experience with him. Hope you enjoy Oklahoma!!!!

Hello. I was just recently banded by Dr. Tim Eldridge in Oct 2013. Very excited and already seeing some decent results. Looking for people to connect with and meet some fellow banders.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
