Surgery with Dr. Gorospe

Anybody having surgery with Dr. Gorospe in Nov ? My date is Nov 14th and I'm getting very excited. Loretta

Hi, Loretta. I live in south Oklahoma, so I'm having surgery in Dallas. Nov. 6th is my date. I am excited too, although I'm also a little nervous. Good luck!! J.J.

J J Wow, your date is coming up fast. I wish you the best of luck on your journey. Loretta

He's the one whose name I keep hearing as being the best in the Tulsa area. I'm actually just beginning this process, but have signed up for the December seminar. Nov 14 is soooo close. Best of luck. Are you in the Tulsa area? I'm in Collinsville.

Pam, I have two co-workers and two others in my building who have had surgery with Dr. Gorospe. They've all done really well. This gives me confidence that Dr. Gorospe is a really good surgeon. No, I'm not from the Tulsa area, I live in Shawnee. The drive was long at first, but seems to be getting shorter. Maybe it's just the excitement. Good luck on your journey. Loretta

I met you in the nutrition class on Monday afternoon. I was to have my surgery today 11/01/2006. I had a asthma attack and they had to give me steriod shots and this would mess up healing after surgery, so Gorospe and kirk think I need to wait untill it is out of my system. 30 days. I cried all night last night. But at least I know they have my best intrest at heart. Congrats on your surgery. You will do great!! Glad to know you are on the site. I can give you my email address if you want to keep in touch. Lynnette

Lynette, I'm so sorry to hear that your surgery had to be rescheduled. But, like you say, they have your best interest at heart. You want to be in the best possible condition for your surgery. I'll keep you in my prayers. I'd love to have your email. If you'd like to email me directly, I'm at [email protected]. Good luck and talk to you soon. Loretta

My best friend had Dr. Gorospe and she absolutley loved him and had great results. She is 2 +years post -op. I am going to his seminar on Nov. 11. How long did it take for you to get a date after your seminar? I'm trying to get a vague timeline figured out so I'll know how long I'll have to be patient. I've been fighting for this for over a year and half , so I am so ready now that I have a policy that covers it. Good luck .Your date is coming so fast! I am happy for you. Dannielle

Danielle, I'm always pleased to hear about others who have had surgery with Dr. Gorospe and had really good results. I went to Dr. Gorospe's seminar on Aug 11. I think it was about 1-2 weeks that I then got my intake appt which was Sept 22. After the intake appt, I was called back about another 1 to 2 weeks and then got my surgery date for Nov 14. I could have gotten an earlier intake appointment and surgery date, but I was having some leave issues at work. I purposely planned things out a little further apart. Good luck with your journey Loretta

Great question Danielle--I was wondering the same thing. I really don't want to have the surgery until June (I'm a teacher and want to do it when I have plenty of time off). I'm going to the December seminar. I also thought this would give me time to meet insurance requirements if they require me to jump through some hoops. Loretta, I just moved to Collinsville in May. Before that I lived in Allen--between Ada and McAlester. I had lived there for 22 years before this move. What made you choose to come to Tulsa rather than OKC? I did hear more good about Dr. Gorospe from my GP when I saw him last week. He's in full support of me seeking the GBS.
