I'd love to be a part of any support system in north Denver.

On another note, has anyone used Dr. Frank Chae? Thoughts??

Jean

Dr Chae did my bypass last February and while I don't have any other bariatric surgeons to compare him to - he did what I consider a great job for me. Since I'm with Kaiser and he is only contracted, all of my follow-up beyond the first week has been with Kaiser docs/nurses, the pre/during/post with him was a good experience.

I know there are a couple of others who regularly attend the support group meetings, so if you have more specific questions about the experience with Dr. Chae, I will be happy to share more, just as I'm sure the others will.

Chae did my surgery 3 years ago. It's always been easy to see him for fills. He's not real big on chatting but then again I've never had any problems. I see him at his Skyridge office which is really a pain since I live in Thornton but it's only once or twice a year if that much.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
