Kindredspirit - Congratulations on 50 lbs! That is GREAT! I am happy I with Dr. G, I don't think his staff is very personable, and I felt like a number, until Dr. G did the surgery, they seem to have warmed up now. The one thing I am pleased with is the fills, he doesn't do the fills, they have them done at the hospital by the Radiology dept. They do them under flouro and make sure you have the best restriction. I don't have to beg for a fill - if I feel I need one they schedule me. A lot of dr.s don't give you one unless you quit losing weight - Dr. G works with his patients. So I think because of that, it has enabled me to lose as much weight as I have and still be healthy and strong!

DrRx - Tulsa - I have heard wonderful things about Dr. Fisher and how wonderful his staff is. One of the ladies at our last support meeting used him, however, the one thing I don't like about him is he is extremely conservative on his fills. He starts out with only .5 cc's of a fill and this lady is only down 20 lbs because she still has such a small amount of fill and no restriction yet. So thats the only thing is he is very conservative. I guess he is cautious, which is good, but it can be discouraging for awhile and not losing weight while your trying to get the popper restriction. But, I have heard he is very nice and personable and his nurse Anita - I've heard nothing but glowing reports about her.

One recommendation - before you have your surgery, make sure you get your fill doctor ligned up - You might be able to just call Southcrest hospital and ask them about it, I know their radiology dept was doing mine. I will be switching to Baily Medical Center in July because Dr. G is using his partner (Dr. Kirk) who is working out of Baily now (In Owasso) and Dr. Kirk will be doing all the fills going forward - Dr. Kirk is the bomb, I love him!
