hey Coloradans!

I'm in Boulder and would love some "in person" meetings (lunch, a hike, shopping, whatevah!) with other band-folk. I can drive to other areas (Fort Collins, Greeley, Denver) to help make this wish come true. Post here or email me at BandedMay03@aol.com.

Enthusiastically yours,

Annette

Hi there! I was just wondering if you know of any fill doctors in or around Denver. I'm desperate to find one there because I live in North Dakota, and that's the closest that I'd probably find one. If you know any, will you let me know? Thanks bunches!

hi Amber Rose,

That's a good question and I don't know a perfect answer for you. I once asked my doctor's office (Dr. Johnell in Greeley) if he did fills for patients of other surgeons. I was told yes, they do and they charge only $100. I thought that was fantastic and I posted that to the Colorado Bandsters list. Then someone called his office and said he had changed his policy because of liability :D Since then, I've heard people say that Dr. Snyder in Thornton/Westminster will soon start doing fills and that Dr. Brown in Canon City does fills.

Post your question to the Colorado Bandsters and see if anyone else has updated info!

Go to Yahoo.com, click on "groups" then search for the ColoradoBandsters group and subscribe.

Good luck!

Amberose,

As you seen from above I am from NE and a lot closer to you than COLO. Here is some info on my doctor. I don't know how much he charges for a fill for people from out of town but I heard it was dirt cheap! Our fills are free. We pay just for the office visit. ($52)

Thank you Teresa! I'm getting desperate here to find a fill doctor. I was hoping that I could find one in or around Denver because I have a cousin who lives there, and I wanted to use the trip to visit her and to get a fill....ya know, kill two birds with one stone. But if I can't find one in Denver, I'll definately give doctor Holloway a call. Thanks again!

Annette in Boulder, thank you for responding, and yes, I did join ColoradoBandsters, so hopefully somebody will know a doctor I can get a fill from. It sucks when doctors decide to not give fills to patients who didn't get the surgery by them. What about us who went to Mexico to get it done!?! I really don't want to fly back to Mexico every time I need a fill. But hopefuly I can find a doctor who will take me. Thanks again!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
