Dr Frank Chae-national Bariatrics Lone Tree, Colorado



Recommended Posts

I absolutely LOVE the whole crew at National Bariatrics. Dr Chae does amazing work and my scars from my rny are tiny and very few compared to others I've known who had the exact same procedure. I didn't have any bruising or gas pains. What really sticks out is how much he himself cares. He's not just in there stamping out surgeries to pay for a boat or something, he genuinely cares about his patients and wants to help you succeed in the least painful way possible. Kelly is the resident NUT for the group and amazing in her knowledge and just her great personality. I've been working with her since like June 2015 and I don't just consider her my NUT, she is a friend and I love going to see her. We always have a good time and she gives me such useful advice. Rounding out the place is DeDe. She is the one who keeps you on your schedules and makes the appts. She is an absolute angel! I love her to death! Christine handles the insurance, so unless you have problems with your insurance, you may not ever meet her, but she's always back there working hard for the patients to get them approved for their surgery of choice. I absolutely cannot say enough good things about Dr Chae and his team. They are absolutely wonderful, and if you are looking for a surgeon in Colorado, he is the BEST! <3

      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.
