Dr. Schoen is my doctor. He is awesome. I really like him and he is a wonderful doctor. My surgery went great and I haven't had any problems. I was extra pleased because I was afraid that the pain would be bad and I've had those morphine machines before but it didn't help. He assured me that the machine would be set so that I wouldn't have any pain and he was right. I think before the doctors didn't take into account that I was a big person, Dr. Schoen did.
Trust me, just do what he says and everything will be wonderful. :-) I've lost 72 pound since September, including 19 before my surgery on September 6. Of course, I gained 10 pounds while I was in the hospital which freaked me out but it is totally normal because of the IV's. It is water weight and comes off in the first 10 days or so.

Hi Ali -
Welcome to the boards! I, too, live in Colorado Springs (east side, near Powers and Palmer Park) AND Dr. Chae is my doctor. I just had my RNY on 12/17. I also have a 5 year-old girl (born 1/26/02) and PCOS. Only difference is....I'm 42!!!
Please feel free to PM me with any questions or anything. You are in great hands with Dr. Chae - my recovery has been problem free and I am A LOT A LOT larger than you.
I hope to hear from you!!

Topic: RE: Help!!!!!! I need an angel
I am having mine done in Denver at University Hospital by Dr. Jonathan Schoen, my insurance didn't mention the Center of Excellence. I have heard of it and it has rang with praises. A friend of mine had his done there in August and he loves them. We may meet up someday at a support group there since I will more than likely join a group in Springs since it is closer.
Email me at my personal email if you want me to be your angel. Im not sure if it is me you are talking to or someone else, lol... Hey, when you wake up... 4 days to go!!! I would be more than willing to go to Springs for your surgery so that you have someone there when you wake up if you dont have family or friends there for you. Just let me know how I can help.

I am having surgery in the Springs, I work for Centura and they require I use a "center of excellence"
plus I dont think there are any RNY docs in Pueblo.
Who are you using, where are you getting yours done?

Thanks Viv
Topic: RE: Help!!!!!! I need an angel
Thanks for explaining what an Angel does. If you still need one, let me know. If you already have one I'll chcek these boards a few days after your surgery to see how you're doing. Please let us know how you're doing. Hello to all you Colorado folks!
