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:)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
