I have a Date

I have a definite date for my surgery with Dr Thomas. It will be on 9 March 2004. I am so happy to finally get this rescheduled again. Dr Thomas is a wonderful surgeon, I would highly reccommend him to anyone in the Oklahoma City Area who is thinking of having WLS. I was supposed to have WLS on 31 December 2003 with another surgeon I had at the time, but he canceled on me. Turns out that he lost his bariatric surgery priveledges at the Hospital, he had to many readmissions for complications and to many deaths! What a blessing that turned out to be for me! Well everything happens for a reason, my surgery was delayed, but making me find another surgeon just may have saved my life!

Congratulations! I am waiting for a hopeful approval letter from BC/BS of MN!!! Jacque

COngratulations. I am pleased that you found a surgeon who can help you. Good Luck.

Congrats. on your date. You must have an angel looking over your shoulder. Good luck.

Congratulations! What surgery are you going to have with Dr. Thomas? I met with him a couple of weeks ago and liked him, and he was "brutally" honest with me and told me to go back to the doc who did my VBG in 1998. He even called the other doc. I have to go back to the original doc, which I hate, because for the last two years he has just shook his finger at me and told me I had a "2 oz pouch" and not to overfill it. I have not found one doc who will change this surgery for me, since my life has so radically changed, I can't walk like I used to, and cannot do a lot of other exercises due to my back and knee surgeries, back x4, knee x3. I envy you. I hope God blesses Dr. Thomas and you, and you achieve your goals. BESS

hi I noticed your posting and I wanted to tell you that I just had a revision from VGB to bypass on 1/19/04 and Dr. Gorospe & Dr. Kirk in Tulsa OK did it. I am doing great so if you would like to contact them they have a web page under okweightloss.com Good luck Acuani
