Hello Colorado Bandsters!

I am going to be moving to Colorado (Denver area) this May. Colorado is really home to me as I have lived there most of my life but have spent the last 2 years in Virginia. I am SO excited to be coming home!

I am also very concerned that I am going to have a difficult time finding a Doctor who will take over my care once I have moved. Things are going so well for me so far with this band and I want to keep going in the right direction. I have read that it is difficult to find a doctor who will take over the care of a patient who was banded by a different doctor. Does anyone know of any Colorado Doctors who might be willing?

:biggrin:Try calling Dr. James B. Smith in Pueblo Co he is my Dr and is wonderful. I think he charges 150.00 or so for a fill. The phone # is 719-561-4300

good luck

If you cannot find a Dr in Denver, my surgeons are in Fort Collins.

Northern Colorado Surgical Associates

They are an awesome group of guys and their staff is wonderful. They will accept any patient.

best of luck!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
