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:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
