New member from Colorado

Hi all! I am totally new to this. I just scheduled my consultation today. Its something I ve wanted to do for months, but had no idea how to pay for it. Im still not sure, but am exploring some options.

Anyway,

I am in Colorado. I did find an online support group for Colo people, but it was REALLY clickish. Noone even sent out a hello. So, here I am.

Any other Colorado people out there?

I'm not from Colorado but have visited several times and love it! The mountains are just amazing! I'm here in Houston but just wanted to welcome you to the group. Have fun reading, there is lots of good experiances to read about on here. Good luck on your journey!

Thanks for the welcome! Its so funny you would say that about Colorado, because my husband and I LOVE Houston. We want to move there someday. Want to trade places? Lol

Hi, I live in Parker, CO. I am new to all of this too. I am still trying to get qualified. I have Kaiser insurance and they make you go through all of this stuff just to qualify. Anyways, nice to meet you.

Thank you Robin, and welcome to you as well. Do you have a doc picked out?

Hey Char--what part of Colorado are you in? I am in Pueblo. I've been banded for 6 1/2 months, and absolutely love it! I hope you can find a way to finance your surgery--it will change your life! There are lots of finance companies that specialize in financing for this particular surgery, and will finance pretty much anyone, so good luck. Welcome to the boards!

Hello to the Colorado newbies. I live in Pierce which is east of Fort Collins and north of Greeley. 4 months post op and down 62 pounds. You will love this site. People are really helpful and you do learn alot.

Since the surgery will be through Kaiser and they have their own physicians, I am not sure who does the surgery. That is one of the questions I have written down to ask.

Hi new CO peeps!

I am also in CO, Brighton, and was banded 13 months ago.

Welcome!

[Plentsweet 0]

Wow, Drewslou! You are doing great, girl! Thanks for the welcome. I am really bummed right now because my loan payments will be $260 and my hubby said no. I am desperately trying to find another financial option, but I WILL NOT give up. I really need this, and want it more than anything.

Anyway, thanks to all for the warm welcome!

Welcome!! Sorry the Colo welcome was less that warm. I'm on that board, too. Have you thought about:

home equity loan

credit card

going to Mexico

?

I went to Mexico. Wonderful experience, nothing to worry about at all. Ask any questions you have! We are here to help! I don't cruise over to this forum that often but you can PM me!
