Dr. Chae, Denver area



Recommended Posts

I posted this in the surgeons subforum but got no response so trying here. Has anyone had surgery or know anything about Dr. Chae at Sky Ridge Med Ctr in Denver area? My cousin is seriously considering him. His credentials on web look good. Just wondering of someone has more info. Thanks.

I just got sleeved by dr chae on 5/9 and it was excellent. He really knows what he's doing, and as a bonus, no 2 week pre-op diet. And sky ridge is a fantastic hospital to get sleeved in. Nice rooms, friendly, knowledgable nursing staff, it was like being in a hotel!

The one thing I will say about dr chae is that it can be difficult to get around his office staff. If your cousin is not self pay, make sure she snags christine's business card on her first a ppt because Christine is the insurance lady and about the only one with an email address on her card.

I don't know anything about Dr. Chae, but this clinic is a "Center Of Excellence" which means this place is top notch. If you don't know what COE means, google it. That's what I did when my family doctor told me to make sure I chose a 'Center of Excellence' surgeon. I hope this helps.

      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.
