Hi. I am just beginning this journey and if this is the path I take I want to be sure I choose the best physician. I am looking for recommendations for physicians in Colorado.

Dr. Michael Snyder and Dr. Johnell have been mentioned to me so far.

Thanks so much.

Hi Robin,

Thanks for the info. I'm in Grand Junction, but grew up in Farmington. What made you decide to do the band? I'm kinda torn on whether to do the band or the sleeve.

Thanks again!

For some reason, cutting off a hunk of my stomach bothered me. (What if I need that part of my stomach later for some reason?) I don't want to lose teeth either.

ETA,,, teeth comment has nothing to do with wls, it's just a commentary on how much I like my original parts.

Yeah, that kinda bothers me too. I'm just trying to weigh (LOL) all my options. But the lap band is my first choice. I'm just wondering about the long term effects of the band. I heard people don't really have any problems until like the 1-3 year mark. Have you heard that?
