I'm on my way!! After Lap Band surgery.

Well. I found a great surgeron, Dr Holsaeter. He is with Saint Anthony's Hospital. They are so nice at this office. I was trying to have my surgery through Dr Floyd's office out of Edmond and they were in between hospitals. I got tired of waiting for a date. So I called and found Dr Holsater. I was in Dr Holsater's office within a couple of days and since I was already approved for the surgery they had me a date in less then 2 weeks. I had my surgery on October 19, 2006. I lost 20lbs before surgery and 15lbs a week after surgery. I go back to see to the doctor this week. If you are having trouble with your doctor, you might want to try somewhere else. My insurance just switched doctors names since I had all my test done and was approved. If you call Dr. Holsaeter's Office, ask for Darla. The number is 405-232-0144. Just to let you know Dr Holsaeter's has done several hunderd of these surgeries. When I was in the hospital and talking to the nurses. Good luck to everyone. Let me know how you are doing.

Congrats on your surgery, Melissa! I had a bad experience with the Edmond office as well. I could never get any return calls and they never bothered to tell me they were between hospitals. I learned about it on this website. I have found a surgeon in Dallas and have had absolutely no problems. Best of luck to you on your continued journey!! J.J.

Hello Thank you. I am 21lbs down after 3 weeks. Good luck to you and everyone else. I get my first fill this Wednesday. Melissa
