Seriously so excited to be getting to this part. I'll be starting classes Mar 7th via Kaiser Englewood. Just curious is there is anyone else out there as well. I know its a long shot!

Hi Sabrina. I went through classes at Kaiser Englewood last year and had rny with Dr Bolanowski at St Joseph's in Denver. You are in great hands! The classes in Denver are so thorough and they make themselves really available to us. The team at the hospital was fabulous. You will find great support via your classmates. I stay in touch with mine and we cheer each other on. Good luck!

Thanks for that feedback! Im debating sleeve vs rny myself so Im hoping the classes and surgeons can help me decide. Its great hearing you had such a positive experience

How long are the classes, week wise? Do you need to go to the clinics or can you take online?

We had 6 weeks, one class a week for about 1.5hrs. No one mentioned to me a remote option and I live in the Springs. I guess there was another class where people conferenced in. I did a make up class that way and it was horrible. I recommend in person

They have the classes at 3 different locations.

That's not too bad. Yeah I heard that they can be done on line, I'd check again and will make sure. Oh that's a drive. I've been going to Rock Creek, cause I hate downtown. I will only go down for that for the actual surgery.

THank you so much for sharing this. I just want to make sure I'm as prepared and ready as I can be.

Hi Sabrina, I had surgery last week through Kaiser Colorado with Dr. Johnson. I'm up in north Denver, and learned a ton from my classes as well as made some wonderful people in my classes! You will be in good hands!

HI! I am having my psych eval this Friday at the Franklin location & should be able to start my classes after that! Are you finished with your classes Sabrina?

Also! How long after you finished your classes were you able to schedule your surgery?

I had my Medical intake and Psych Evaluation week before last, and hopefully getting into the August 9th Class.

Is there a list somewhere of when the classes are?
