These doctors were NOT my surgeons, ...but I have 4 firends who have used them. Two are post op and were paid for by medicare and one is schedule with payment being medicare. The fourth friend had medical insurence.
I have heard nothing but positive things about their surgical skills.

I wanted to add if you are soonercare/medicare and you plan on wls be prepared. Make sure you PC Doctor and staff knows what is required to do for the surgery. I jumped through the hoops to end up waiting on my PC's office to "learn" what to do. You need to make sure they are informed about the procedures to filing for the surgery. Its a long and drawn out process if the PCs office isnt informed.
As of 09-14-11 I am no closer to getting the surgery.

According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid website there are only 2 approved bariatric hospitals in Oklahoma and they are St Francis in Tulsa and Norman Regional in Norman. As St. Francis the Bariatric Sugeons are Dr. Katsis, Dr Cole and Dr. Varnell. In Norman the surgeon's are Dr. Keith and Dr. Lana Nelson.
Hope this helps.
