That's awesome. What hospital ? My surgery is 6 days away. I am super excited. I passed my weight loss goal this morning. My insurance went through on Monday. Now all I have to do is wait.

I will be at University of Colorado Hospital. The waiting seems to be the hardest part right now. Now that I know, it's taking forever! I haven't had my official pre-op appointment yet. It's Monday. Did you have to do a pre-op diet?

I am also at University. I have Dr. Rothschild. I am doing it by choice. Wanted to make sure to get those last few pounds off. I had a weight loss goal I had to hit.

I have Dr Schoen. I am addicted to cherry coke so I need to break myself out of it. I'm thinking I'll be on a liquid diet prior to surgery.

Do you have a weight loss goal? I loved cherry coke as well also coffee. I am doing well with that part though. I actually ate a bagel with Peanut Butter because I hadn't had any thing but pro town shakes in three days. I was surprised to surpass my goal this morning when I weighed.

I am also having surgery at University of Colorado Hospital and my surgeon is also Dr. Rothchild. I have a weight loss goal of 20-25 pounds and so far I have lost about 10 of that. I am currently working on my 3 month multi disciplinary plan. I have 2 more appointments left. Last one being August 14th. It actually turned out to be 4 visits rather than 3 since the 90 days was spread out weird. I am so excited to meet other people in my area experiencing the same thing as me. Sounds like we could all help encourage one another.

I have my surgery time, I have hit my weight loss goal, and insurance approval has come through. Now lli have to do is wait 5 days. i think us Denver people should try to for our own support group. I know the hospital has one but it meets Wednesday nights and i am unable to do that night.

Just found out my date was moved to the 20th because the scheduler can't seem to read the schedule. Grrrr. I would be interested in a support group. I work night shifts at a hospital and can't make the center's meetings.

I'd love to hear some dr reviews from people that had surgery at University of Colo hospital. I'm just starting to look into surgery as an option and don't know anyone I can get a personal referral from. I hate to pick a dr from a website alone

My surgery is scheduled for June 30. Are there any other people in Denver having this surgery?

Hope everything went well. Let us know how you're doing when you feel up to it.

Surgery went well. I am home recuperating. The pain is not easy. I guess I didn't plan on that part of it. I loved my experience at University. All my nurses were great. I loved Dr. Rothchild as well.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
