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.

      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.
