I was set to have this surgery in PA but I've just moved back to OK. I'm trying to find a Oklahoma surgeon that does this proceedure. Thanks! H

Holly: I don't think anyone in Tulsa does the DS. However, after a lot of research, I have decided to go with Dr. Louis Gorospe. He does the procedure Lap RNY and places a ring to keep the stomach from stretching back out after surgery. I have a friend who used him and has lost approximately 170 pounds. She said she would not let anyone else touch her. After attending his meeting a few weeks ago, I was very impressed with him. He has had only 5 deaths out of over 800 procedures. And those 5 deaths were people who were super morbidly obese who had so many other health issues they would have died within a year he said. Actually, these 5 deaths were out of 200 which were in the super morbidly obese category. So, he was able to save 195 out of 200 that were unable to get any other doctor to even consider operating on them. These are just a few things I learned at his meeting. Anyway, he is the doctor I am using, if that is of any help. Best of luck.
