Fluffyhusker 1 Posted July 22, 2010 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!! 1 native.sister reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NurseSophie 0 Posted July 22, 2010 hey! Welcome to Oklahoma soon! My doctor is from Wichita Falls, TX...which is about 2 hours from you but he is phenomenal...Dr. Warnock...however...I do know my friend's doc was in Norman. (which is 30 minutes away) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fluffyhusker 1 Posted July 22, 2010 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlottaBS 0 Posted August 7, 2010 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gdzornes 1 Posted August 13, 2010 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...

Moo 0 Posted August 15, 2010 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessrw 0 Posted August 17, 2010 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!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
