talb 0 Posted August 6, 2007 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greyeyes 0 Posted August 16, 2007 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...

greyeyes 0 Posted September 14, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greyeyes 0 Posted September 14, 2007 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bubbah12 0 Posted September 14, 2007 GREYEYES how much did you pay for your surgrey was the diet before a tough one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greyeyes 0 Posted September 16, 2007 <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> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greyeyes 0 Posted September 16, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
