I am in the Tulsa/Muskogee area

I work at a casino in norman, im 24yo and got on into an entry level position the casino i work for has awsome benifits for their part time employees i have unlimited medical the company offers 100,000 a year for free, i pay 50 a paycheck and they pay 90% of all surgery with a $20 copay, a Ive worked at three casinos and two covered weight loss surgery all have 90 wait for benefits, if you live close to a major tribes casino no matter how big the casino is i bet they have good benefits, my surgery is gonna cost me $200 at the time of check in the hard thing is the 6month wait... hope this helps good luck

Interesting I have also had health issues more so since I've lost 100lbs.  I have even passed out (which I have never done) and the ambulance had to be called.  I never feel 100% and feel like I could sleep all the time.  I have not mentioned this to many in fear my family will say "we told you you shouldn't have the surgery" because they begged me not to do it.  People all the time ask me don't you have so much more energy and I say "yes" because it's quicker than saying "well really no I don't'  just wondering if you've had any of the issues.  I've also had severely swollen lymph nodes in my neck which we have ran tests on and all tests come back "viral"  but no one can tell me what "viral thing do you have for 12 months"  I am 2 years post op like you, I had gastric sleeve on 05/18/2009. 

Just wanted to stop in on the OK board and say HI!
I am alive,but not so well..
I am in the process of being diagnosed with fibro. The last 9 moths have been a nightmare, first started the tail bone pain, then it graduated to other areas. I have had scans, ct's, ultrasounds, been diagnosed with osteoperosis, chronic pain.. and by Tuesday I will be among the ranks of those with Fibro.

Who knew getting healthy by losing 100+ was an invitation to a whole new set of issues.

On the brite side I am 100lbs lighter and no more diabetes.

Hope you all are doing well on your journies!

Dr G did my surgery in November 2008. He is a wonderful surgeon and I would highly recommend him. I lost 175 and made my goal in 12 months and have not had any complications. He is a very compassionate man and will spend time with you to answer any questions you might have,

Good Luck!
