So, I had my surgery on Tuesday with surgeons in Fort Collins, attending the medical weight loss classes in Fort Collins, having the surgery at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins and I'll be returning to Fort Collins to do my follow-up appointment on September 11th. Normally, I wouldn't be ticked about that... but the same system that manages Poudre Valley Hospital and my surgeon's practice (University of Colorado Health or UCHealth) just opened Long's Peak Hospital in the town I live in, Longmont. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem. Longmont is growing so naturally, it may make sense for us to have a second hospital, especially with it being so close to communities in Weld County. Also, considering how yuppie Longmont is starting to become, it's natural that we're going to be getting one of those "birthing centres" too.

... If not for the fact that they offer Bariatric Surgery too. Now, I'm kinda pissed off that I couldn't have my surgery done here in town. Oh well, at least it got done.

Do me a favor. When you are 8 weeks post-op, buy some vanilla pepsi. Set it out so it goes flat, then taste it. I'll bet $20 that you'll be willing to kill a bus full of nuns to NOT have to drink that stuff ever again!!!

Oh, and congrats on your surgery! Good luck!

Aww, the timing sucks. But so excited for you that you had your surgery. Congrats!

It's a joke I made to a friend when I was on a pre-op liquid diet.

Cold stale coffee has the same effect for me ychh
