Hi yal,

From the Springs but having surgery with Metz on the 3rd of December. So far, so good. My liquid diet starts 11/30/09. Surgery is at P/SL. Very nice office staff & insurance clearance p/w was sent ASAP. He offers GBP, Lapband and VSG. His NP is very nice and is his sidekick for surgeries. Dieticians are nice and social workers are awesome! I love Liz! Anybody out there considering their practice, it's a GO! If you wanna pair up with me to keep up-to-date, reply to this thread.

Dr. Metz, 12/3/09

Hello all...Dr Metz did my surgery on July 16th 2009 and I have lost right at 70lbs...He was awesome, repaired a hiatel hernia too...Dr. Metz will not be back to COlorado Bariatric...he is traveling all over and did not renew his contract. I was there last week and was told that my "new Dr" is Dr. Brown...wasn't thrilled since I have never even met him, however Allison and Dawn the 2 PA's totally rock...They have always done my fills and answered any questions I have had...I think it sucks that Mets never even notified his patients...

Dr. Metz and his staff are awesome. I had questions before my surgery and he took the time to answer them. I even asked him a personal question of why he wanted to do this type of surgery and he explained his reasons why. All that with a passion in his voice and a smile on his face.

As of today (Feb. 1, 2010) I only have two more pounds to goal.

Fantastic Doctor and Office!

Start Weight: 280lbs

Surgery Date: May 21, 2009

Dr. Metz is opening a practice in Parker. Allison left to go with him.

Does anyone know if he actually went to Parker? A phone number, website or some contact info?

Has anyone seen Dr. Metz now that he has moved to Parker? I got paperwork from his office saying I could tranfer my care to him, but not quite sure what I am going to do. I really like Dawn with Dr. Brown's office, but Parker is closer to where I am. The woman who answer the phone for Dr. Metz office sure seemed alot nicer than what I am used to. I was just wondering if anyone had been to the new office. Hope everyone is doing well!

OK team, I am still considering if this is the option for me and Dr Metz (parker Office) seems like the closest/best surgeon but I am yet to meet with him - or make the big decision. Any advice or thoughts?? I am inspired by your stories and interactions... Loads of thanks in advance!!

Broooke,

Sorry so long in the reply. Dr Metz seems to be a good doctor. I was just sort of taken aback by a couple of things he has said to me. He did not do my original surgery, I had a different surgeon who left the state and arranged for him to take over his patients. I think I will stick with Dr Brown, even though I am a lot closer to Parker than to PSL.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying anything about his medical skills, everyone who I know who he has operated on has been very happy with him. Could just be me.....

Brooke,

Where are you located at?? If you would ever like to get together to talk about the surgery, please feel free to IM me.

This was the BEST thing I could have EVER done for myself. I am a year out. I celebrated my year on May 21st.

I've lost 125lbs. I hit my goal weight in January 2010 and I continued to lost a bit more.

I am steady at 155lbs and I am at my sweet spot for my fill as well.

I live in Westminster and I WILL make sure I go to see Dr. Metz WAY>>>>>> down in Parker because I love my Dr.

Dr. Metz was not like the other doctors I met. He took the time to talk to me, he smiled at me, listened to my concerns and even answered a couple of personal questions.

I did not want to be "just another patient" so I decided Dr. Metz is for me.

He is using my "Before and After" photos in his seminars now. I LOVE IT!

So....do your research, make sure you are happy with your doctor, make sure you are ready for this in your head...REALLY READY, because it's hard work. It's not a magic pill but for me....I could NEVER go back.

Best money I ever spent. I was self pay.

I had my surgery in January of 2011 with Dr. Metz (and I drove up there from the Springs) and it was the best decision I

could have ever made in my life! He is accepting, understanding and considerate! The office staff is just as wonderful

as well and I will be eternally grateful to him for the help he has given me!

Talk about a God send at the right time!!

I had surgery with Dr Metz on March 21, 2011. My husband went with me to pre-op visits and agreed that he was a good doc that we were comfortable with. He was awesome about answering my husbands questions and concerns about the surgery. Also, he helped me choose what surgery to have by informing me of all of the pros and cons about weight loss surgery. His office staff is great! They are always friendly and courteous. I would recommend him to anyone looking to have weight loss surgery.
