Colroado Doctor's



Recommended Posts

My insurance, Kaiser Colorado Springs, says I can see a doctor in the springs or denver. i am heading towards denver. Any thoughts?

And do you have to get your fills done at the same doctor's office?

Any advise would be appreiciated:) Thanks!!!:thumbup:

Most people have their fills at the doctor's office who preformed the surgery. I have heard that it is a bit difficult to find a doctor who will do fills on patients that they did not work on themselves. I guess that is why there are businesses like Fill Centers USA (which advertises at the top of this page) where you can go to get fills. Their ad says that they have centers in 30 cities, but I imagine that your insurance will want you do deal with the same doctor that does the surgery. The fill centers probably charge more, although I don't really know that.

Good luck with your surgery. You will be glad you did it.

Thank you Kathy for the information. I am finding my way through all the steps, by being on this site. And getting posts like yours:)

It is strange, because I am starting to tell people that I am going to have this surgery, so it is like it is real. I think this is important for me to start making it a part of my daily thoughts.

When I eat now, I think of the way things will be after surgery, and that my choices are going to be a big part of changing habits:)

      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.
