DrRX - Tulsa

Good luck with your surgery on Tuesday! I am really excited for you.:clap2::clap2::clap2:

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?

I am 27 and will be banded on Aug 22 by Dr Kirschenbaum in Aurora, CO. Aubrey

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.

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.

I am scheduled for Aug 22. I am really excited!:clap2:

woofay - I am in Tulsa, OK. It sounds like I am going to be really happy. I am so excited! I am ready to get on with my life.

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

I just found out today that I will be having my surgery on August 22!!! I am so excited!:clap2:

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:
