WHAT HAPPENED

I do the same thing, too.  I'm glad someone else is interested in getting things going. 

Congratulations on getting your surgical consult and a date.  Have you had any of the tests done or is this your first time ever to see the doctor?

It's going to be my first consult with him, but I met him at his seminar. Over the last few weeks I've been doing things here in OKC (labs, etc..) and those things have been faxed to his office. It's been a little complicated because I'm in OK and he's in Little Rock...but it's working out. :)

If you need someone to ride to little rock with ya let me know..i drive back east 3 to 4 times a year and get in little rock in about 6 hrs...

been non oh for like 5 yrs..and this happens...post ops get busy with their new lives and forget about the ones coming up...I left for awhile but im back...

Hi all... I am new to this.  I am scheduled for my surgery on the 18th.

Hi newbie! whos your surgeon and what sugery are you having??

Best wishes! 

Hi guys,

I am from Oklahoma and I am having WLS also, but I am having mine done in Texas because of insurance reasons. Also there isn't a doctor in Oklahoma who does the  procedure I am having done. Yes I'm a DSer. I haven't gotten a date yet but it should be next month hopefully. I only have one appt with the psych left (March 1). After that they will submit to AETNA and the the wait begins. They keep telling me that AETNA responds pretty quickly. So I'm excited. It kind of hard for me to post questions on the Ok forum because there isn't anyone on this board that has had a DS by my surgeon so it is easier for me to post on the TX forum. BOOOOOOOOOOO .  Anyway, some of us at the hospital that I work at are wanting to form a support group maybe we can add us all together. Just a thought.  Anyway, I do lurk on here and can say that I am very proud of each and everyone of you. No matter what procedure you had done, we much rock the tool that we have been given.

Like you I wanted the DS but didnt feel like I needed to travel out of state for it..what happens if I had a complication...anyway. I know about ds and my best friend is almost 2 yrs post op.
What I wouod like to do is start a post op support group that is not affilated with any surgeon. A  group that talk openly and honestly but at the same time what is said in grouo stays in group.A group for all surgical and non surgicasl types also...open forum what we  want to talk about we can...
Have a groupo of us meet and be a board with rulles and guidelines deawn up..if interested ...then lets do it!
Congrats on your decision!!!
If I can come down there to be with ya I will

Yeah I don't want to be apart of any "surgeon" support group. I too am a little concerned  about complications but so far everyone that has taken the "fantastic voyage" to Denton has had excellent outcomes and I have complete faith in him and the procedure. The rest is up to me. When I get scheduled I will totally let the Oklahoma forum know. Let's keep it rolling guys.
