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...

Hello Everyone-

I'm on the schedule to get banded on the 14th of January also. Only a couple more days now! I'm not nervous about the surgery, just ready to get on with the post-op festivities and broth eating!

Good luck to everyone else getting the band this week. It's not going to be a piece of cake, but if we give each other enough support, ideas, and inspiration, we'll do great!

Hi there everyone. This is my first post, but I am also having surgery this Thursday, the 14th. I'm excited about it and ready to get on with it so I can begin to eat normal foods again!! (I'm already looking forward to post-op week 3 when I can begin to eat a few things that are soft and pureed!! HA)

Anyhow, I'm not nervous about the surgery at all, just ready to get on with it. Like most people, I've had the 6-month waiting period with supervised diet, psych eval, etc. I just have now found this board, so hopefully it will be a source of support and inspiration!

Nice to meet everyone!
