I'm in week four of my six weeks of classes with Kaiser Permanente. Looking at a probable surgery date in July, anyone else out there in the area?

[SBell35 19]

I am! Would love to find more people in the area to chat with or talk to. I start my classes on July 3rd with a tentative surgery in September. Im also married to the sweetie that started this thread!

I had the sleeve in Sept 2013. Would love to have folks close to me as support, as my group on here is the greatest!

Hello arch! Happy to see another south sider on here! Hopefully things will pick up and we can get enough people to start getting together.

I am still in the pre-op process. Just had my last psych evaluation, now waiting to make an appointment to see the surgeon and get things really rolling!

Hello!! I live in south Denver and I am atteneding Kaiser classes in Lakewood now. I'm considering the Sleeve & the Bypass types. I had my 2nd shrink counsil this week. I haven't talked to a surgeon yet, so I can't be sure when a date would be scheduled.

Thanks for joining us here davop! I just had my last class at Kaiser east, had to get my a1c below 9 and get my weight down before I could schedule my surgical consult. Very happy to say I accomplished both and now have a consult on the 17th with Dr Husain!

Very excited!

Hi guys, I'm sort of in your area, just farther East (Strasburg). I'm not with Kaiser but since I work for Exempla (and worked at St Joe's for 4 years) my surgery was done by Dr Chae at St Joes. I've been thinking of going to the support meetings held at the hospital every month but haven't made it there yet. He also has a group that meets down at SkyRidge. If anyone is interested in dates and times, let me know. I have a flyer with both schedules for the whole year.

It's good to meet some other sleevers in the area!

Yay! Another member in Our group!! Welcome aboard! Looking at your signature you just had surgery!! Good for you! Hope everything is going well for you!

So I see you got the sleeve, I'm going for the full bypass,i was leaning towards sleeve but found out my malabsorption concern was moot, then found out about the gerd/reflux issues with the sleeve. And the thoughts of my already severe reflux getting worse really helped make the final decision.

Hi, waiting for final PCP surgical clearance, have gone through all pre-op items and hope I'll be on track for a 7/21 surgery date for RNY by Dr Snyder. Would love to be in contact with local support group, I live in Aurora.

Hello Fellow Pals. Are there any pals on here that have gone to University of Colorado Hospital for their surgery? I am scheduled for surgery on the 30th and was hoping to chat with someone who had been through it so I know what to expect.

Also, if anyone knows any good therapist in the Denver area for bariatric issues I would love to have their name. I am still having trouble finding a therapist that I click with.

Thanks!

Parker here. I am in my 2nd month of the six month sessions required. So hoping for surgery in May 2015. I have completed my only two requirements of no caffeine and a grocery store tour. Fingers crossed
