Did anyone get wls with Dr. Frank Chae in Colorado? If so, how did it go? I have an introductory appointment with him soon and I can't find any reviews for this year. My apologies if someone has posted asking about him already - I'm not sure how to search the forums. Thanks in advance!

I did! My experience was AWESOME with Dr.Chae. I had a list of 20 questions for him the first time I met him and he was super patient and super knowledgeable. His credentials are impressive and he's calm and collected like a surgeon should be. I gained some weight between insurance surgery approval and the actual surgery and he was very understanding and not judgmental at all. Any time I had concerns post-op, my husband would text or call him and he would respond within a few hours or sooner. I've also had plenty of support from the dietitian and her support group Post-Op. The only thing I'm struggling with is the mental hunger/habitual addiction to food that came back as soon as I was healed - and they never really address or help you with it besides "change your habits" and "don't snack or drink." I think most WLS centers don't really address that but I could be wrong. I'm looking into behavioral therapy to help, because if you don't change your eating habits, you can definitely snack and eat around the sleeve (I have a few times). Anyway, I hope this helps! Let me know if you have specific questions!

Good choice!! I had my sleeve surgery with Dr. Chae in November. Him and his team are AWESOME! Super understanding and judge-free. He answered all my crazy questions before surgery and was super responsive after the surgery to any questions/concerns I had.

Hi Natasha! I'm looking into getting the sleeve also here in Colorado and match closely to your height and weight. #almosttwinsies! As for the surgeon - I've had a hard time finding 2017 reviews for surgeons Everything seems from 2016 and earlier!
