WeightWise/Dr Walton in Okc?



Recommended Posts

I am considering the program offered by WeightWise in Okc, Ok, under the care of Dr. Walton. Anyone have ANY feed back on this hospital group?

I haven't heard anything. I'm looking for a DR in the OK area as well. Just went to a seminar for Dr. Gorospe in Tulsa.... he's pretty good, though I'm not happy with his price, being a cash patient. Let me know if you find out anything...

As a cash patient I was SOOOO disappointed with the OK doctors. I talked to several and all were at least 10-12 thousand more than any other doctor anywhere. I settled on a bit of a drive to KC... Portal-to-Go Error I'm having my surgery in approx 2 weeks... and couldn't be more happy about it. Also, good news to know that while talking to my doctor, he was saying that the center will be opening a fill center in the OKC or Tulsa area within the next year or so. Something to also consider and made me feel even better with my decision. Let me know what you find out.

I tried to give you the website to the doctor I picked in Overland Park, KS area. "The Weight Loss Surgical Center" there's also Dr. Malley in that area as well that a lot of people have had possitive feedback with... Good Luck. I think finding the right doctor for you, is the hard part. Letting go of the $$ seemed to be rather easy - compared to the searching

<p>Honestly, they encourage you to try to loose a pound or two before surgery. And you have a clear diet 24 hours prior to surgery... that's it. Nothing else is required. You have a pretty smooth liquid / clear diet a few days after surgery but that's it. I too was a little skeptical with other doctor's guidelines. And lossing a pound or two isn't easy. They are just trying to get a little wieght off your liver, to make it easier to move during the surgery. Have you had any luck finding a doctor?</p>

Oh also the cost was $17,500. You have your surgery and do your overnight recovery at their clinic - not at a busy hospital. That was a plus to me. Also, they usually have an extra bed for someone to stay with you in or near your room. My surgery is in a couple weeks. SO excited for a change.

      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.
