I know this post is old but hi! I'm in Broomfield and 8 days out from my sleeve with Dr. Snyder.




Yay! I’m excited for you! You’re going to love it! I’m 6 months post op and would be happy to share my experience if you have any questions. I used Dr. Metz at Rose but I think most of the programs are similar.

Hi, Natasha! I'm in South Denver. I'm looking to get the sleeve done this June. I'm going through the 6 month of nutrition counseling, psych eval, and extended nutrition class my insurance requires presently. Hoping to get approval in April or May. I do not have any experience working with medicaid or your Dr., but I'm going through Dr. Frank Chae's office at Sky Ridge Medical. My friend had her sleeve done by him and his experience, credentials and recommendations are really great.

When are you hoping to get your surgery? I'm new to Bariatric Pal as well. Seems like a very supportive resource from what I can tell. All the best!! Good luck in your journey.

Good choice!! I had my sleeve surgery with Dr. Chae in November. Him and his team are AWESOME! Super understanding and judge-free. He answered all my crazy questions before surgery and was super responsive after the surgery to any questions/concerns I had.

Hi there! Just finished my 6 month required Dr visit for insurance, already did everything else, so now just waiting for approval. Hopefully in February or March I'll have my surgery done.

Sorry I haven't been on here guys. I've been so busy. But here's where I'm at. I've done all the requirements for the insurance and Dr Georgescu. I'm now waiting for approval so we can set a surgery date. I'm hoping in February or March I'll have the actual surgery done. Hope all is well with you all. I'll be getting caught up with all of your progress soon friends and would still love to do a meet up sometime.

Home from the hospital after finally having surgery 23 Jan. Feeling pretty good so far! I have an annoying drain that has to stay in for a week and some really itchy spots but other than that I feel good!

Aww so excited you finally got yours done and are feeling well. I know drains suck and all the itching I'm hearing about sounds awful. But just think how temporary this stuff is. I'm so happy for you. I can't wait to get mine done and over with.

      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.
