Hello everyone! My name is Natasha. I'm new to here and looking to have the gastric sleeve done. I been going back and forth with it since 2015 and had my pcp refer me last year and am finally going for it. I went to the seminar and have my first appointment scheduled with Dr Georgescu Sept 15th. Has anyone here had him as a surgeon? Where are my CO people? Anyone have to go through the medicaid stuff here in Colorado? How was it? Any recommendations?

I'm not a sleever or Medicaid but hi! Colorado here.

Hello! Nice to meet ya neighbor. I see you must have done the rny done and where did you go? What was your experience there?

Hi Natasha! I'm looking into getting the sleeve also here in Colorado and match closely to your height and weight. #almosttwinsies! As for the surgeon - I've had a hard time finding 2017 reviews for surgeons Everything seems from 2016 and earlier!

I am in Colorado Springs. I had dr fisher - he is amazing! My recovery has been super. Where in Colorado are you?

South Aurora here. I am scheduled for surgery on August 8th. My surgeon is Dr. Long at Parker Adventist .

My surgeon was Dr. Michael Snyder at Rose in Denver. He's great!

Born and raised in Colorado. I just had my surgery in Mexico (my insurance wouldn't cover it), but have some knowledge about bariatric surgery here. My mom got the Bypass from Dr. Snyder 15 years ago. He was one of the first surgeons in the state to offer it. My sister is scheduled to get her sleeve with him in September. The reason I would recommend him is because of all of the extra precautions he took and because of how much experience I personally knows that he has. I have actually been able to attend his pre-op classes with my sister and will attend his post-op classes with her as well.

Hi! North Denver here. I had my sleeve surgery through Kaiser with Dr. Johnson on June 13th. It took my a while going back and forth between doing surgery or not before I decided this was what was right for me. Best wishes on your journey!

This is very true. I haven't found current reviews neither. I just have what some friends and family have told me that have had it done. But none were the dr I was referred to. However Dr Georgescu came highly recommended from my primary care and cardiologist so I'm going to trust them. Who are you considering?

Thank you! I have heard his name several times. I may look into scheduling with him.

That's awesome! I'm in Thornton, so literally, hello neighbor! Things have been going great! I'm 6 weeks out from surgery, down well over 40lbs and feel amazing! How far into the surgery process are you?
