I am pre-op (two more weeks!) but would love to participate in a Denver/ Denver Metro area Local Chapter!

Will you please add me to fb? Thanks!

The Church fell through as they decided since they are a new, but growing congregation, that they'd like to reserve their space for dedicated church related programs. With that said, I'm going to start hunting around, and calling places again.

Worse case scenario, if people are up for it, so that we don't lose our momentum, we could always try to meet at a local community park. There's a place called EB Rains, right across the street from the Northglenn Police Dept & Community Center: East side: West of 117th Ave. & Lincoln St.; West side: East of City Hall, 11701 Community Center Dr. in Northglenn. http://www.northglenn.org/ebrains

Let me know if anyone wants to try to meet up there just to get things moving. This is a big park area with a few sitting areas with a Gazebo, and a lovely lake we can always walk around once or twice. I'm just throwing this out there while I continue my search for a free meeting place.

Thanks!

EB Rains park sounds good to me! It's right off I25 and my daughter just got a job at Jamba juice right there on the corner! Keep me posted.

My son used to call it Lobster Lake back when it was called Webster lake. He some problems with his Ws.

There's a top notch skateboard park there now so I think we should all bring our skateboards (then someone should call a paramedic)

I'm in

Sounds good to me too!

While I'm working on finding a monthly meeting location, let's plan on getting together by the paddle boat rental place, near the main entrance at E.B. Rain's on Saturday, June 7th at 9am.

I will post a reminder a few days before & I'll either have a silly sign or let everyone know what color shirt I have on so you know you're approaching the right person, LOL.

SparkleCat, who is your surgeon? I have Dr.Snyder. I'm going from lapband to bypass. I hope to go in early June.

Mishka - sent you the invite for FB. It's OK if you can't make the first one. I'll keep everyone posted as things progress. Just going to take several more phone calls, but we'll get something figured out, even if we have to keep meeting at E.B. Rains until we do

Congrats on surgery!

Irisheyes - My original surgeon was Dr Snyder for lapband, but my insurance changed to Kaiser & my revision was done through Dr Hussein. I liked him, lots of energy!

My surgeon was Dr Thomas Brown and I was very pleased!

They have monthly support groups on Thursdays which, unfortunately, is the day I usually work late so I haven't been able to make it

I had a friend who used Dr Snyder and she loved him....his office never returned my calls though

I wanted to use Snyder too but I could never get the office to return my calls or emails either. After waiting for 6 weeks I went to Dr Frank Chae. When I got home from Chae's office Snyder's office called. I told her I had already scheduled my surgery with a different doctor and she just said OK and hung up. I hear good things about Snyder but his support staff is lame.jmo

Agreed....I sent emails, called and got nothing. I am glad I eventually went with Dr Brown, support staff is wonderful and my surgery went as well as it possibly could...very pleased

And I still haven't heard from Dr Snyders office...

May have found a meeting location @ The Westminster Library off of 112th Avenue. Only minor issue is that there is a cost of $15 per month for groups under 10. They do offer "Study Rooms" for groups of 6 or less, but I'm not sure we'd exactly qualify for that free room. I will, however, ask.

Just need to know how many people would be interested. I'm looking at trying to do this the 2nd Wednesday of each month. In this case, Wednesday, June 11th around 6pm.

Please let me know how many takers we have. Thanks!

Hi Fran,

I won't be able to make Wed meetings for the summer or fall but I would definitely join them for the winter.

Thanks!
