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!!!!!!

      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.
