Looking for a Doctor in Oklahoma



Recommended Posts

Can someone tell me the doctors doing this surgery in Oklahoma...

My younger brother is in serious need of this or the other surgery but unfortunately isn't good about finding things out for himself...comes from being the baby of the family I guess...

Anyway, I'm trying to get information for him....

Thanks

I had my surgery 4 weeks ago. I went to a doctor in Norman Oklahoma, Dr. Keith. You may want to check there, I'm sure more doctors perform the surgery, but he is the only one that I know of.

Jeannie,

Thanks so much...I will pass it on...he's being resistant...I'm hoping when he sees me and the progress I'm making it will help him decide....

I thought I would give you an update. Yesterday was exactly 2 weeks since I had the band. I lost over 15 pounds in that 2 weeks! I still have a long ways to go but I never could have done that in 6 months on my own. I asked the nurse if the scale was right. I was just so shocked! I won't lie, it is difficult sometimes and I have had moments of "buyer's remorse" but when you hear that number starting to come down the regrets seem to dissappear.

GOOD FOR YOU! Isn't it wonderful!

I can't praise this device enough! It's given me back the control and motivation I desparately needed!

I getting ready to really test it...I'm leaving on vacation this Tuesday...will be gone for 5 weeks and I opted not to get a fill because it was so close to leaving and my band isn't supported in the US...SO, here comes a test!

I believe I am going to be fine, I am so committed to this and the initial results have been so positive...

Thank you. Congrats on your loss too. I know it's only been two weeks for me but I really feel that this was one of the best things I have ever done in my whole life. Have a safe and fun trip. Our last vacation was in March so I haven't been out of town with my "little buddy" yet. MAybe this fall before school starts again. Take care and say hello when you get back.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
