Any Colorado sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hey Colorado Sleevers! I'm scheduled for December 9, 2014 and was wondering if any of you who have had the sleeve can comment on staying hydrated here in Colorado? My husband worries if we go hiking I won't be able to get enough hydration...thoughts? Experiences?

Hi there,

Just as you would do for any other hike, just make sure to bring plenty of fluids with you. There isn't really anything additional that you need to do.

Best of luck,

Fran

I haven't been on here much lately but I'm in Colorado Springs and doing well. I'd love to find a running buddy if there is anyone local.

My Nut is Julie Anderson and I highly recommend her. She's helping me lose this last 20 stubborn pounds!

Monument here. Was starting to wonder if I was the only Co. on BP's.

Wish I could help with referrals but my Dr. is in Denver/Parker. Having my sleeve done this friday at Parker Adventist.

Not a runner per say but if you ever feel like "the Incline" I'm with you. They did a great job cleaning it up.

Feel free to contact me to talk, questions or plan some thing. Hope things go better for all of us.

Have downed more Water these last few weeks then probably the last 12 yrs. I have lived here….HA

Thanks everyone

As surgery day gets closer I would love to hear how Dr Brown and Colorado Bariatric patients are doing! I'm Beginning my pre op freak out :)

I was sleeved by Dr. Brown on 3/30/15. Dr. Brown, the anaesthesiologist, and nursing staff were wonderful. I left the hospital with minimal pain. My 2 week post op appointment is scheduled on 4/15/15. When are you scheduled?

Had the procedure Friday afternoon and really can not say enough good things about Dr. Brown and his team. With all the feed back from every one at BP's I was prepared for the worst and very happy to deal with the best. Just figuring out how to get all my Vitamins and fluids in. Whats really odd is Water is now the most appealing of all drinks…go figure.

Hope your healing continues, if your going to nutrition meeting on April 17th, I will see you then. PMJ

That is awesome! Congratulations! There is a support group tomorrow morning that I want to go to at 11:30 AM (I'm not back at until next week), and I will definitely be at the Thursday night group on 4/16. Yaaay! See you then!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
