Surgery scheduled with Dr. Ronnie Keith in OKC



Recommended Posts

I am self pay and officially have a surgery date of March 16th. I am excited and extremely nervous at the same time. I am starting at 360 and am really worried. I have wanted this for so long and now that it is a reality, I am terrified. Has anyone on the firm had surgery with Ronnie Keith?

Good Luck. My friend tried him but his staff were rude as can be so she is going elsewhere. She called to get directions and they gave her the wrong cross streets. So she was late. Then when she arrived they told her they may not be able to see her because she was late even though it was their mistake. Then her insurance denied her and the woman was like, "You need to pay us $500 today or you won't be seeing him". I was there so I whispered to her that it's not worth it and we should go.

My friend didn't know that he was the first doctor I checked into when I was planning on the surgery. I was quoted $18,000 altogether, which is b.s. So I went to Tijuana and only paid $4,500 for the surgery.

FYI: I've never seen Dr. Keith but my friend has seen pictures of him and one of his patients told us that he is obese. So if true it's kind of weird that he won't get the surgery for himself.

He and the staff were really nice when I went for my consultation. He is heavy and I wondered why he has not had the procedure himself. I would really like to hear from someone who actually had surgery with him. He does not have a profile on here and that kind of scares me. I mean this is my life I am putting his hands in.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
