Sleevers In Colorful Colorado?

Calling all Colorado Sleevers!

I was sleeved on 11/15/12 and am looking for a buddy or two to work with throughout this process.

Thanks!

Jana

I know that they have a new one, she starts on Monday. I'm sure she is just taking over her appointments. I haven't heard if any is going with him, but I know that they started the center together and made up all the informational supplies and binders together. In Nov he had said that he would've taken everyone if he could've afforded it at the time, but since he was just getting started he did not have the finances. I think he is getting everything ready to open the clinic he wants to. He had found a hernia when doing my surgery. I'm going with him since he will be able to repair it, I hope right along with a tummy tuck...lol

He rattled off a bunch of names, but I assume that some of them are administrative like my friend Jo LaRosa.

Also, I was talking to a neighbor today about it and she said, "Why did he tell you some of that? Seems so unprofessional." And, maybe he didn't remember exactly who I was but he did remember that I was friends with Jo (from church). So, maybe he was more open than normal because he thinks she was telling me stuff, but honestly, I haven't talked to her about it. We are friends but we are not on-the-phone-every-day friends.

I think he was blindsided a bit, then he was worried that his patients would think he was let go for moral or ethical reasons that's what he told us at the meeting. He didn't really know the "divorce" was even coming

Oh, I definitely got the impression he was blindsided. Even when the office called me to say that he had "left the practice," the voices on the other side of the phone seemed numb...And, I did speak to Jo at that point, even though she had nothing to do with medical treatment. He seemed to imply that Dr. Long arrived knowing that he would usurp him and I don't think that is accurate. He might have been told before Dr. Metz was told, but they had only been working together a few months, so how would you broach that? "Hey, Metz, They want to keep me on and they are getting rid of you!" I think he probably kept his mouth shut, because he had just relocated from TX to CO and didn't want to lose his job.

@Jcoufs, COnative, Heyher, Willbethinthisyear - Sorry for all the drama that I brought to this thread, but this is the first time I found someone who had their sleeve done at the same place as me. Since a support group was brought up at Parker Adventist, do any of you belong to support groups other than online forums like this one?
