Topic: RE: DR. OAKLEY I NEED INFO??
Dr. Oakley did my surgery on Dec. 15. He is wonderful. I wouldn't go to anyone else. I was in the hospital 3 days with NO complications at all. He came and visited me everyday and St. Lukes is awesome. The nurses are the best I've seen, and I work at a hospital and am a nursing student. Let me know if you have any questions, email me and I"ll give you my number.
Good luck
Carrie

I am scheduled for surgery with Dr. Oakley on May 25 also. I have heard nothing but good things about him and his staff. He just did the procedure on one of my co-workers a month ago and she seems to be very happy with him.

Nikki,
Dr. Oakley did my surgery in November. He and his staff are fantastic. The pre-ops are a breeze. He does an exam in his office and then sends you over to the hospital for a blood test and a lengthy questionnaire. The nurse will then go over a bunch of stuff with you. He also came to see me every day in the hospital. Even when I had to be readmitted for a 2nd emergency surgery, his concern for me and my health were number one. You have made an excellent choice.

I WOULD NOT GO TO DR. EDIGER. HE DID A VERY BAD SURGERY ON ME. NOT FOR WLS. I AM GOING TO HAVE WLS BY DR. OAKLEY ON MAY 4th SO WILL BE ABLE TO TELL YOU MORE AFTER THAT DATE. TRY TO GET A BOOK CALLED THE DOCTOR'S GUIDE TO WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. I THINK IT WILL HELP YOU.
