Fort Carson may be our next home for a while. Are there any DSers in the area?

Hi Sheila,
I live in Falcon, just outside of Co. Springs. I'm still in the process of deciding if I should have the DS or the VSG. Either way, I will have to travel, because the WLS surgeons here only do RNY and Lapband. If I have the VSG, I need to go to Denver. If I have the DS, the closest surgeon is in Omaha, Nebraska. Oy! So we'll see what happens.
Welcome to Colorado! (If you move here, that is...)

Hi Sheila and Tara,
I was over here checking out the CO board to see if I recognize any folks from our DS forum.  I have been online checking out homes in the Colorado Springs area which is right near Ft carson.  My 2 best girlfriends now live there, as well as their kids who I consider neices and nephews.  I have decided that I will look into moving to Co too, about a year from now or after that.  Once I have had my DS surgery in October and drop the weight, I will need a new goal to look forward to.  I have been in MD all my life except for a 3 year stay in NC during my brief marriage.  There is nothing holding me here, since most of my friends have moved to other places and my sister is doing the same in a couple of years as well. 
CO Springs is so beautiful and I like the views of Pike's Peak. 

My friend has lived in CO Springs or over ten years now but I haven't yet asked her to give tips on where are the ebst areas to live.  Any suggestions?

Best of luck in your move.  Are you in the military?

You will probably have a hard time finding very many DS'ers in the entire state.  There are no DS surgeons in the state.

I do have a friend in Castle Rock who had the DS in CA about 6 years ago. If you want to PM me your email addy when you get here, then I'll forward it on to her.
