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:)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
