Have you tried Dr. RONNY,KEITH IN NORMAN. His number is 405-360-7100.

I was trying to go through Dr Floyd a few months ago and they kept putting my surgery off. I called Dr. Holsaeter Office, he is with St. Anthony's. I had all my lab work done and everything approved. I went and saw him and they had me schedule for surgery within a couple of weeks. He is great. Their number is 232-0144 ask for Darla. She got me an appointment the next day and I was on my way. Had lab band on 10/19/06 have lost 21lbs since surgery and I lost 20 before surgery. Good Luck. Let me know who things go. Melissa

hey what insurance company do u have?

Hi April, I had a similar thing happen to me from the same office. I had done all pre-op tests, etc. for RNY with Dr. Floyd's partner, Henry Pearce. With no warning, I learned that Dr. Pearce retired and that Edmond Medical Center closed its bariatric wing. They never even had the decency to call me; I learned about it on this website! I guess things happen for a reason -- I used Dr. Wade Barker in Dallas who is wonderful but I live in southern Oklahoma so it was very close for me. Good luck! J.J.

Sorry to hear that! I am pre op to have the bypass and I highly recommend DR Broussard at WeightWise. They do the lap-bands too. It's a great facility and they are good with helping on insurance and working with the co pays and total costs if they end up being out of your network. Good Luck and feel free to email me if you have questions. [email protected] -Tina

I had Dr. Ronnie Keith and he's great!!! Good Luck Carol

I am so upset with Dr. Floyd too! I had my lapband done in July of 2005 and paid him for his services and the anesthesiologist up front. It has been a year and a half since my surgery and his office has still not paid the anesthesiologist their part! I have a final notice letter and a bill for $935.00. My credit is going to be ruined although I paid for it the day of my surgery! I actually paid $1000.00 for the anesthesiologist and it was never paid to them from Dr. Floyd's office. I have contacted them several times and they told me it would be taken care of, now they aren't even in the office anymore and are just picking up their messages everyday. Luckily my husband is an attorney and we are filing a report with the Oklahoma Board of Medical Licensure & Supervision. I don't know what I will do for my follow-up care now. It is really quite scary.
