Denver Patients

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

I'm having a revision from the lap band to rny July 13th.

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

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

[funkecoldmedina 49]

Yes hope all is well! Is anyone else going to be attending the NUT class in July?

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.

Good to hear! I hope my experience at University goes as well.
