Hi there,

I'm Leza, and I live in Wheat Ridge with my partner and 4 year old twin girls.  I am having RNY surgery on 12/14 with Dr. Metz in Parker.  

I have some conditions that may not go away with weight loss surgery such as fibromyalgia and PCOS, so that makes me very nervous.  I am still optimistic that I can kill the hypertension, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, type 2 diabetes, tendonitis, acid refulx and asthma issues.   I am only 34 and have more health problems than both my parents combined!!

I am also looking for support groups in the area, but have no idea where to look or who to call.  I'm thinking Overeater's Anon might be good.  I am also going to start counseling next month through Jefferson Center for Mental Health.

Hi Ladies,

I am Carrie and live in Littleton with my husband, 6 year old daughter, and 2 German Shepherds. I have step-sons who are now 21 & 18, but live in Colorado. Congrats on getting scheduled. I bet you are both so excited. I am going to my consult appointment on Tuesday and have already had my physcial and blood work done. I am hopeful that I can get scheduled around the same time as you guys, but I will know more on Tuesday!

Hi Leza!

You're almost there...hang in there!  It seems that it will never get here, but it will.  I had my RNY in March and it is the best thing to happen to me.  I did have several co-morbids with my weight, and about 80% are gone or alleviated alot!

If you need someone to talk to, please feel free to contact me! Good luck to all, Lena
