Anyone from Oklahoma, tell me who your surgeon is ?

I am from Oklahoma City and I went to Mexico to have my surgery which was 8/31/12. I went to Dr Alvarez. www.endobariatric.com The cost was $8700 and included 2 night hotel stay and 2 nigh 3 day in hospital. He is an awesome Dr. I have lost 64 lbs since surgery. Have had absolutely no complications. I went there because my insurance would not cover the surgery so I was self pay.

I'm in OK as well. Scheduled for surgery tomorrow with Dr. Broussard. So excited but nerves are kicking in this morning.

How did it go? How long did you have to stay at Summit?

I was discharged around 8 the next morning.

How are you doing webblarsk?

I used Dr Keith in Norman at OWLO! He's wonderful!

I had told a couple people that I was going to have surgery and of course they were negative about it. It only took that and I kept my mouth shut after that. Then after surgery once everybody was wondering what I was doing or how I was losing the weight I told them. I just didn't want to hear all the BS before the surgery. Surgery was the best thing I have ever did.

I'm doing really good. Down 9lbs since surgery. Went back to work yesterday. A little bit of pain left at biggest incision but not too bad. Counting down till I can have some food

I will be using Dr. Hamilton Lee at Integris Hospital in OKC. They have a great program and I really like him. I should be having surgery in the next few weeks if all goes well.

I'm from Oklahoma, but I have state insurance (Health Choice) and they wouldn't cover my surgery, so I went to Mexico in March and had my surgery with Dr. Garcia for $5,200. I'm three months out, and so far, everything's great.

Dr. Broussard did my sleeve 6/11/13 I'm 25 lbs down and Dr. B and the staff are great. Gives you personal calls and everything. I was self pay but it was so worth it. I drove from Tulsa to see him.

Do you know if health choice will cover complications or follow up visits? I'm a state employee too and that's my insurance. I was sleeved July 1st in Mexico.

Mooregirl, I'm not sure. I hope they would.

I think if you have insurance to cover the cost weight wise would be great, I started my journey with weight wise but my ins wouldn't cover it and I think you get nickeled and dimed, after more research ive decided to have my surgery done in Tijuana Mexico by Dr. Fernando Garica, total cost for me should be 4700.00 barring any complications.travel is my responsibility, they cover 3 nights at Marriott and 2 nights in the hospital and food,
