Colorado Anyone

I also had Dr. Johnell. I thought he was a great surgeon. I really like the office in Greeley, too. I usually coordinate my fills with the nights they have support groups since I live 5 hours away in NE Wyo and have a long drive down there. Mostly, I use this forum for support. I wish they would get it set up with teleconferencing. They keep saying they will do it, but don't seem to be getting it done! Glad you're back on it!!!

Hi! I am new to this website. I was Banded in Michigan but I am living in Colorado now. I have had my Band for two years and i am finding it very hard to stay on track, does any one else have this problem. I have actually gained some (not a lot) of my weight back. I am here looking for some ideas and advice on things that work.

At about 2 years, I went on "hiatus" too and while I didn't lose my motivation to work out, I lost my motivation to eat right. Didn't lose much weight at all. In fact, I remember going up and down the same 5 lbs. I eventually got motivated again by adding running to my workouts. That inspired me to start eating right and get losing again. Maybe you need to change things up? Good luck!

Hi!

I'm Julie and I live in Colorado Springs and have an appointment to meet with Dr. Kirshenbaum in mid-March. I'm not sure when my banding will be, but I'm soooo excited and waiting impatiently. I'm reading so many posts and information pages. All I really want to read is the banding date on my calendar!

I'm from Parker, Colorado. Where are you in this beautiful state?

[jam265 0]

I'm in Colorado Springs, about 60 miles from Denver, but I'm not sure exactly how far it is to Dr. K's.

[srvia 0]

I'm a little less than an hour Northeast of Colorado Spgs. Dr K is in Aurora, about 20-30 min North of me.

Hi Zippycat,

Thanks for the info. That sounds great! I live just a few blocks away from there. Do you know how much it costs?

Frisky1:confused2:

Do you go there often? Does it help to keep you on track?
