Colorado Anyone



Recommended Posts

Julie, we live kind of close, I could meet you at South Lands Mall some time, would you like to meet for coffee and talk about our band lifestyle changes? I was banded 6-08. I am from CT and don't have any friends out here, so I get lonely once in a while.

Barb,

I would love to get together some time. I just started a new job, so it would have to be in the evening or on the weekend. Perhas we can put something together soon??

That was neat to see a picture of you guys. I have been so tired since going back to work. Spaced it out. Maybe I can come next time. Does anyone ever get together in Colorado Springs? That might be easier for some of us. Just wondering. :rolleyes2:

Hello there,

I'm in Colorado Springs and I was banded on 12/2. I would be interested in a get together in the springs sometime.

Hi Colorado! I am from Whitewater (just South of Grand Junction). I will be banded on the 13th of this month with Dr. Kirshenbaum. I am not looking forward to the travel with the weather (it is snowing again) but I feel so lucky to have found Dr.K and besides all my follow ups will give me an excuse to do a little eastern slope shopping!

Congrats. Maybe in the future you can schedule one of your fills to be able to meet us for dinner (there are girls from all over the US that come in for fills)

Hi,

My name is Rich. I live in Denver. Got my Band last Tuesday with Dr. Roller in Ft. Collins. Poudre Valley Hospital folks were awesome! Everybody that I came in contact with there was so super nice. I've, unfortunately, spent some time in different hospitals with my Mother last year until she died and I've never encountered hospital staff as nice and friendly as PVH.

Anyway - new to the band, but have lived in CO for 19 years.

Hi Rich - My name is Amy. I was banded last Tuesday also. I came over from the Grand Junction area to Parker. Dr. Kershenbaum did my surgery at Crown Point. I was very happy with my experience. It was hard to be away from home and to have to stay in a hotel, but all in all I wouldn;t have changed a thing.

Hi all,

I just joined the forum, this is actually my first post. I am in the processes of getting my insurance together for my lap band surgery. I've done all the pre-reqs. I'm just waiting for them to approve it and hopefully set up my surgery date.

I live near Colorado Springs, and I noticed that some of you all do as well. I would be really interested in meetings or support groups if there is some out there.

:blush:

      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.
