I'd love to be a part of any support system in north Denver.

On another note, has anyone used Dr. Frank Chae? Thoughts??

Dr Chae did my bypass last February and while I don't have any other bariatric surgeons to compare him to - he did what I consider a great job for me. Since I'm with Kaiser and he is only contracted, all of my follow-up beyond the first week has been with Kaiser docs/nurses, the pre/during/post with him was a good experience.

I know there are a couple of others who regularly attend the support group meetings, so if you have more specific questions about the experience with Dr. Chae, I will be happy to share more, just as I'm sure the others will.

Chae did my surgery 3 years ago. It's always been easy to see him for fills. He's not real big on chatting but then again I've never had any problems. I see him at his Skyridge office which is really a pain since I live in Thornton but it's only once or twice a year if that much.

      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.
