Need A Recommendation For Gastric Sleeve Surgeon In Oklahoma

[eplawson 4]

I used Dr B from Weightwise and I actually had my surgery date set for me before I had all the pre-surgery weight loss complete. I went for my pre-op appointment and didn't quite have all the weight off so I was rescheduled for 2 weeks later. I adore Dr.B and live the program with Weightwise. My pre-op nurse was one of their first sleeve surgeries and she made me feel totally at ease while I was waiting to go back. I would highly recommend this program. I am currently 6months post op and have lost 107lbs. This surgery saved my life, and is helping me have a better quality of life with my 4 year old daughter.

That's my doctor! I'm getting sleeved on Nov 20th.

I've heard great things about him.

I'm so nervous - are you doing well? Was there any pain?

I"m thinking I'll take off a week from work. I am 5'3" and 202 right now hoping to drop 60-70 lbs.

So excited to hear input from someone else regarding Dr. B and share your experience!!!

OMG I want to know everything

I am doing great just past my 6 month mark and my husband is coming up on his. We adore Dr B and have been so happy with the Weightwise program. They truly care about their patients.

Any questions you have please let me know. I am an open book. I had a friend that helped me thru the process and it was so helpful to have someone that had been there and able to answer my questions.

As for pain there was the normal pain from having surgery but nothing internally which is what I was worried about. I bruise very easily so that was the worst for me. I took the pain meds in the hospital and 1 dose before I left and that was it for me. I will tell you that when it comes to pain I am a real baby if that answers your question. I started back into the gym on Saturday after surgery with no problems.

I hated to feeling of drinking after surgery, my family had to make me push myself but other than that no issues.

I had my surgery 2 days after Easter and was worried because we usually have Had a big meal. I had to make sure that I made weight so that was my first goal and from that point on I haven't thought about it since. My first month wasn't very difficult but I will admit I didn't make it the full 2 weeks of liquids, I made it about a week and a half and had no issues. I ate a lot of eggs the first month. Find things that you enjoy and listen to what Chris and Steph teach they are wonderful. You will have cravings but remember why you are doing the surgery. I spent most of my first month just trying to stay on track with my fluids and remember that trumps everything.

I went to a lap band seminar with Dr. Ladd Atkins and I am really impressed by the way he interacted with everyone at the seminar and how caring he seemed to be and will be using him for my sleeve surgery. He does plastic surgery and aesthetics as well so if I need a lift afterwards I will know right where to go.
