Yes

Was banded in March 2006. His staff is very thorough. They have done lots of bands and gastric bypass.

His staff is very knowledgable. They pay attention to the little things, like bigger chairs in the waiting room.

The staff knows your name and he has a case nurse that will work with you until you get your surgery. My insurance made me wait 6 months and do a dr supervised weight loss. They called me monthly.

They are very caring. They do a info session b4 to let you know what to expect. They have after care classes and monthly meetings.

I've never had them turn me down for any questions asked.

They do have emergency appts if necessary.

He has people to handle all aspects. Insurance, Psych pre tests, Nutrition, etc.

They are up in Greeley but do have fill appts in Lafayette once a week. (I hope they expand this, appts are getting harder to get)

He did the original surgery, but I see a PA when getting fills. Either Steve or Paula. They're equally good at what they do. And Steve is quite handsome, so there's a plus!

His two nurses are excellent! I always enjoy seeing them.

The only thing I don't like is the drive :)

      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.
