Dr Frank Chae in Lone Tree, CO is the bomb!!!!



Recommended Posts

I just want to shout it out from the roof tops! He and his team are the best! He works out of Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, CO

If you want to research him - his website is http://www.nationalbariatrics.com/

If it wasn't for his office manager, Connie, I would not have gotten my surgery until this 2011 and that would have cost me THOUSANDS of dollars. She was helpful and makes everyone in the office a top priority. I don't know how she does it without going completely insane but she does. She is always calm and patient and extremely positive and understanding!

Another invaluable member of his team is the nutritionist he works with, Kelly Elliot. I know she works with a few other doctors in the denver/metro area as well. It is definitely worth contacting her to see if she who she works with if you are shopping around for a doctor. Also, if your insurance requires a nutritionist or you just want to go to one before the surgery she is reasonable and SO VERY knowledgable. Her website is http://www.bnrllc.com/. Though it may seem like you don't need it - she offers a 5 hour class on what to do after the surgery. The 5 hours fly by so don't let that deter you and she spells out exactly what you need, what to do, what not to do and why. Invaluable information! I know people who have had the surgery without the class and it takes that about the first 6 months to a year to learn on their own the stuff Kelly teaches in that class. As a result their weight loss is slower.

I cannot say enough about her!

He also works with an fitness coach Taralyn Jenson-Jones. She is so understanding and wonderful at helping you make small, attainable exercise goals and learn ways to follow through. Her website is http://tjlifefitness.com/.

I am not getting paid by anyone to give you this information. This is just an honest opinion based on my experience and the experiences of other people who have both gone with Dr. Chae and have not had the surgery with him. You won't regret it!!!!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
