Henryetta, Okmulgee area Anyone??

Is there anyone on this board from around Henryetta/Okmulgee area?? I live in Dewar, which is in between. And I don't know any WLS peeps around here. I am having surgery 4-6-05 in Little Rock, Arkansas. Could use some local support. Thanks Toodles, Renee

Well I'm not from your area, but the Pryor/Adair area. I had surgery in Little Rock last June with Dr. Gibbs. I had open and did really well. Most everyone around here goes to Tulsa for surgery. Who are you having surgery with? Good luck.

You are a little ways from me.LOL I am glad you are doing well. I am having mine done at St. Vincent Hospital, the same place Dr. Gibbs and Dr. Ozmet(sic?) has their practices also. So, I think I am in good hands. I am going to Little Rock because of price. I am paying cashola for this and I had to do a little shopping around. In Tulsa they want 30-35 thou!! In LR I will pay just under 15. And I did the research, the docs seem just as qualified and capable. It ireally was the hospital bill that was the diiference. In Tulsa, it was 25 thou, just to start!! That was just the hospital, not the "extras". The Dr.s charged about the same. Dr. Luttrell (in LR) seems to know his stuff. And I cannot wait!! I have 1 weeek before I leave for LR. I am actually having surgery on Wed. next, we will leave on Mon. Toodles, Renee
