NO POSTINGS LATELY WHERE ARE YOU?

Hey Okies!! I live in South OKC and was banded 4/5 weeks ago and have my first fill next week. I do mainly stay in the Lap Band forum but I do like to check out what is goin on with my neighbors. where are you. No postings for 3 days. I would like to hear from some of you. Thanks - Beth

Beth, Glad to know that someone else was thinking the same thing. I am planning to have surgery this summer and have posted a few times on this post but have not received much info. (Thanks Rita), she was the only one that replied. I am in the Tulsa area. Planning to use Dr. Gorospe for surgery. Kendall

hi kendall... do you have a group as of yet that you are joined up with? i joined one that meets once a month located at the Hardesty Library (pecan room) at memorial and 93rd 8316 e. 93rd 3rd saturday of the month 1-3 we would love for you to join us

Leah, We are going to our first meeting this upcoming Monday night with patients of Dr. Gorospe. My wife has an aunt and cousin that both used Dr. Gorospe so we have a pretty good support team within our family. Thanks for the invite though. Do you know of anyone that has used Cigna Insurance for their surgery within the last year? I am trying to find someone locally that has just been through the process with Cigna on getting approved. thanks Kendall

hi Beth, since i have been coming to the OH site, i have noticed that not many ppl post in the Oklahoma forum but mostly i see them in the main messageboard... im not sure why, but i do come over at least a couple times a week and it just doesnt move hardly at all... so im sure that others prolly do the same thing... congrats on beginning your journey and welcome to the loosing side

Beth, I have been wondering the same thing. I would love for us Okies to post more on this board. The main messageboard is wonderful, but sometimes you need area specific information. I will be having RNY surgery soon in Edmond and I would like to meet some people in the area that have had the same surgery! Kari

Hi everyone!!! I think I spend most of my time on the Q&A and the main board.......but I'm here now I live in Moore, Oklahoma. My PCP is Dr. Sheila Simpson and she's amazing. My surgeon is Dr. Ronnie Keith and he is also amazing. I had Lap RNY on 02/06/06. I was discharged on 02/08/06. I have lost 12 lbs. OMG!!! I attend Dr. Keith's support group at the Norman HealthPlex on Te****eh Rd. (just off of I-35). This group is an RNY group and meets on the 2 & 4 Tuesday of each month. Everyone is invited and you do not have to be a Dr. Keith patient. He also has a Lap Band group (I can get that info, if you are interested). There is also an online group called Living Your Dreams. I can get that info for you also. This online group seems to have the most traffic, so I find it easy to get questions answered, if needed. Can't wait to meet everyone! Tammy
