Jana, I live off of Powers also, just a little further north.  If you are looking for a good gym, check out fitness 19 at Powers and Stetson Hills.  I love it there, they are so good to me, and I have never felt out of place.  It is also affordable, as it is a dry gym...no pool, no sauna, no showers.  Good luck

Hi Dana -  I'm having surgery next Monday 12/17 in Denver. I, too, am a bundle of nerves yet so very excited at the same time!  I have found that reading posts from people who have recently had surgery helps.  Also talking to people who have had surgery also helps.  Have you attended a support meeting at Penrose Main yet?  I haven't yet, but plan to do so as soon as I'm able to after surgery. I'll report back to you after I'm home and hopefully others and me can answer some questions for you.  Take Care Jana P.S.  I'm in Colorado Springs, too!  I live near Powers and Palmer Park and work downtown.

Good Morning Colorado, My name is Dana and I live in Colorado Springs. It is such a Beautiful Snowy Day .out I thought I'd reach out to all that are in my shoes or once was. I have my date set for February 6th, 2008. The date is getting closer and I am getting scared. My BMI is 61 I weigh 341 and am 5'1. I am getting close and very scared do you have any advice on what you did to keep the jitters to a minimum?
