surgeons in Tulsa?

I'm interested in lap band surgery and am wondering if any Dr's in Tulsa perform this surgery... does anyone know of any? All of the seminars I've seen are for the OKC area. Thanks so much for any help, and any suggestions anyone can give are greatly appreciated! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Dr. Luis Gorospe does Lap band and Roun en y gastric bypass. He is an excellent surgeon having done over 3000 of these surgeries. He is the first person in Oklahoma to perform WLS laproscopically. His death and complication rate is also far below the national average. Give his office a call. He is AWESOME. Dannielle

I agree with prev poster, Dr. Gorospe's office is wonderful. Although I had the RNY, he also does the banding. Dr. Gorospe and his associate Dr. Kirk are just wonderful. His staff is also wondeful. I live closer to Okla City, but just couldn't find anyone I felt as comfortable with as Dr. Gorospe and Dr. Kirk. Good luck Loretta

Hi Jeanne, There are several surgeons in the Tulsa region that perform the lap band procedure. I am using the doctors at Surgical Associates of Tulsa. Dr. Steven Katsis and Dr. Kevin Fisher. I am very impressed with them. They have a web site too. www.surgassoc.com. They do most of their work through St. Francis Hospital. Good luck.

Thanks so much for your info Kathy....... I just finished speaking with Dr Katsis and Dr. Fisher's scheduling person and I'll be attending the educational meeting on Monday! Amazingly enough, they are members of my PPO, so far the only ones I've managed to find in Tulsa....I'm interested in hearing how you're progressing. Good luck and God Bless

I used Dr. Kevin Fisher with Surgical Associates in Tulsa, and have been very pleased with him. I've also heard wonderful things about Dr. Steven Katsis in the same office. They have a really great support group and the nutritionist they work with is wonderful as well. Good luck to you, I hope you make a choice that makes you happy.
