    Finally got my surgery date! Wednesday, June 5th in Norman with Dr. Ronnie Keith. Eeeekkk!!!! Now I'm nervous!

  • That was so funny! I did have a woman ask me when my baby was due and I looked at her and said "about 4 o'clock when the bus pulls up n drops her off"!!!! The look on her face was priceless. My l

    The reason I went to Mexico was financial reasons. Insurance would not cover anything. I had a great experience and have had 2 friends go to my doctor since I went. They also had the same great experi

I'm using Dr. Katsis. Take it easy & don't overdo it.

Katsis is the one who released me from the hospital. He was a hoot! Bailey is such a great hospital with wonderful Dr's and staff!

Thanks so much cumbie! I'm loving this info!!

It's so great to know what to expect as far as the surgeons orders. Each surgeon is so different I've been reading!

I do have a patient advocate-- Marsha/- but I haven't spoken to her yet. I've only really been in touch with Trevor so far... He's been very helpful

Did you have to lose a certain amount of weight before surgery date?

Marsha is my patient advocate also! Have you seen her before and after photo? Amazing, and just one year it took! I only had 13 pounds to lose (5%of my body weight, weighing 266.).

Dr. Katsis was my surgeon....really liked him. I have my two week follow up with him on the 21st.

ELK CITY HERE I WENT TO MEXICO HAD A GREAt trip!

Hey I am getting sleeved sept 20 but moving to tulsa from ny in November is tulsa a nice city any thing I should worry about or parts I should stay away from

Hey everyone. I live in Mustang/Yukon area. I have my very first appointment with Weight Wise in Edmond on the 26th. Anyone else have surgery there? What were the staff and doctors like?

Hi! I'm in Yukon! Didn't go through weight wise but I know someone that did. He's done fabulous with his surgery.... Good luck!

I'd avoid anything north of Admiral, east of Mingo (above 51st), and west of the river (above 51st). The area west of Southern Hills Country Club is pretty bad. Hip areas include Brookside, Downtown, Cherry Street (15th Street), and the Pearl District. In suburban areas, midtown has more crime than far southern areas. You can get just about anywhere in town in 20 minutes. I love Tulsa!

I work at whole foods and they are building a new store at 91 st and Yale would like to live close to there any suggestions

I'm so excited for Whole Foods to open on my end of town! Are you looking for an apartment? There are some apartments and condos about a mile and a half away at 91st by my tennis club, The Grand. I'm blanking out on the cross street, but it's close to Riverside. I don't rent, so I couldn't tell you prices, but I had two friends who have lived in the complex behind the club. They've both moved out of town though. Let me know if you have any other questions. Will the Whole Foods have the hot food bar? Fingers are crossed...I hate cooking!

Had my surgery 7/30 with Dr Walton at Weight Wise. I live in far south OKC/ almost Moore. Staff and doctors are fabulous! Most of the staff has had the surgery themselves. Had a great experience through the entire process. 2 1/2 weeks post op and feel amazing and down 19 pounds!

That's great. I'm so excited and nervous. I have insurance but it won't cover the actual surgery. I know they will work with me and help I'm just hoping I can actually do this. Congratulations on the weight loss!

Same here. BCBS didn't cover my surgery either. I can tell you this though, you will SAVE money on the amount of food you no longer buy/consume! I am already seeing that! The first few days were tough for me, some pain, mourning food, questioning if I did the right thing. I think the majority if people have these thoughts at first. The two week of liquids after surgery is no fun!! You just want something to chew, lol. After those two weeks though it is MUCH MUCH better! You can do it! If you ever have questions or need to talk, just message me anytime!

Hey shrinks this whole foods will have a hot bar and a lot more it will be the best one in ok. Do u happend to know the names of the apt complex I am looking to rent until I know I am going to be at this one for the long haul. I was looking at greenbrier any reviews on that. Store should be opening mid November thanks so much for the help
