Any Colorado sleevers?

Hi! Just wanted to check in and share that I'm having the sleeve on 1/29 with Dr. John Raheb with Kaiser Permanente. I start the 13 day liver shrinking diet on 1/15.

Would be great to hear how others are doing. ????

Hey how are you doing after surgery?

Doing pretty well, it will be 6 weeks on Monday. I went back to work after a week and have not had any real issues. My biggest issue is I am not losing as fast as others who had surgery the same day as me....I've lost 12 lbs in 6 weeks and am following instructions exactly. I am told not to compare myself to others but I have met others on here who have lost 30-40 lbs in that time so its frustrating.

I was really happy with Dr. Snyder and the Rose Bariatric Center really has a great follow-up program. I've been going to the support group and they have relationships with personal trainers who specialize in working with bariatric patients.

Have things changed? I've read so many different journeys and some lose more at first then plateau later and some the reverse. We are rooting for you!

@@chavezmommy, I am doing good....I had my 13 week checkup today. I have lost 36 lbs which is on the low side of normal from what I am told....but its been a steady 1.5-2 lbs per week. I was so frustrated at first (one woman who had surgery the same day as me has lost almost 70!) but as long as it keeps coming off slow and steady I have decided I am fine with that!

I feel like I have finally got the hang of the eating thing....when to eat and how much and what ffull but not stuffed feels like!

Do you need some Isopure? I have half a case of the grape and now that I don't have to drink it anymore, I don't want to! I had no use for it except the 3 days prior to surgery and the first few days after.

Yes please!! Maybe we can meet for tea at a Starbucks. I'll message you

I'm in Parker and was sleeved on 12/17/12 at Parker Adventist. Not a lot of CO activity on these boards.. Is it because we are the "leanest" state? I have to say that when we are up in the mountains and i see cyclists riding at close to tree line, I really am accutely aware of the general fitness of our state's population. On the other hand, we are so used to seeing overweight people these days that even though I am morbidly obese, I had people telling me I shouldn't have surgery because I couldn't be that overweight.

Lakewood - Good luck with surgery!

Colorado Springs - How far along are you in the process? You are likely the "veteran" of the 3 of us.

I had my sleeve 12-2-13 lost 65 lbs but hubby died and since I'm a stress eater gained back some but back on a program now. I have 25 left to reach my goal. Even started back exercising yuk. I had my sleeve in Tijuana Mexico. Was great only problem I didn't get counceling before hand so really struggled with my brain and all its bad habits. Been seeing a dietician and it has really helped.

I have really like the sleeve I had never heard of it till my brother had it done there. Can't say enough good about the Mexico trip. Total cost with surgery, meds and airline 7500. Can't beat that but need help before surgery do stay focused . Good luck to all just having surgery. Need any help contact me. I can tell you the what to dos and the nots.
