Any Colorado sleevers?



Recommended Posts

My friend said he goes to a support group for men at sky ridge medical center on i25 and Lincoln. I was sleeved feb 2013 and have had little to no support from any group, which has been very difficult. I live east of Denver and commute to work in Denver. My dr. Was dr. Brown, the hospital he works with has a support group that meets once a month. I'd like to know if there's a group anywhere east of I-25?

I'm in Fort Collins and am one month post op. There are two monthly support options here, both at Poudre Valley Hospital. One is an educational group with a surgeon and a dietician available to answer questions. It's free and is usually a very large gathering, at least 50 people. The other is a smaller support group that costs $20. It's led by a therapist and I think it's kind of a new offering. Only 4 people the last time I went, but I'm guessing it will grow.

I'll be moving back the weekend of the 12th! Colorado native, moved to LA back in late 1998 to pursue my career. Had a family and kids, decided to move them back to Colorado - they went ahead seven months ago, and now I'm going to rejoin them finally. Wife wants to get surgery this summer, will be doing it via Kaiser. Looks like Denver's Kaiser bariatric program has a well-reviewed surgeon, so that's good. I'd like to know of any support groups too, particularly Northwest of Denver.

Hi there,

Where northwest are you guys located in Colorado? I started a support group & ran it for 1 1/2 hrs in the Broomfield area. Had to stop it beacuse of work hours. Sadly, I am now unemployed & looking to re-start it again while I can.

Let me know if you're looking in our area.

Best of luck!

Fran

      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.
