That's awesome! I've heard the kaiser bariatric program was good and quick. But I don't want to switch everything to kaiser.

[tahunte 15]

Its not bad to switch. My wife switched about 4 months into a program with Dr. Metz and Kaiser gave her credit for everything she had already accomplished up to that point.

Sorry. She switched from Dr. Metz to Kaiser. (She was having a bad experience there)

Dr. Long is amazing. He put a lot of my fears about my upcoming surgery to rest. Good luck on your surgery.

Another vote for Dr.Snyder at Rose. I've had a wonderful experience with him and his staff. I was impressed with how much time he spend with me during my consultation. He patiently answered my questions...My husband had concerns but was sold on the idea of WLS after meeting with Dr. Snyder. He is very cautious and ensures that patients are well informed before surgery. And so far the follow up care has been excellent - I'm 6 weeks post-op.

I was just sleeved on 7/18 at Rose with Dr. Metz. He has been awesome! I was also super impressed with all the staff at Rose. They have a great support program for before and after. Good luck!

Thank you all so much!

Born and raised in Colorado. I just had my surgery in Mexico (my insurance wouldn't cover it), but have some knowledge about bariatric surgery here. My mom got the Bypass from Dr. Snyder 15 years ago. He was one of the first surgeons in the state to offer it. My sister is scheduled to get her sleeve with him in September. The reason I would recommend him is because of all of the extra precautions he took and because of how much experience I personally knows that he has. I have actually been able to attend his pre-op classes with my sister and will attend his post-op classes with her as well.

Where did you go in Mexico? My insurance doesn't cover it either so I'm looking into some options. Thanks!!!

Hello everyone! My name is Natasha. I'm new to here and looking to have the gastric sleeve done. I been going back and forth with it since 2015 and had my pcp refer me last year and am finally going for it. I went to the seminar and have my first appointment scheduled with Dr Georgescu Sept 15th. Has anyone here had him as a surgeon? Where are my CO people? Anyone have to go through the medicaid stuff here in Colorado? How was it? Any recommendations?

Neat, I'll be having my sleeve on the 29th of August.
