Hi Misty!  I would LOVE for there to be a support group in Thornton! I too am in Thornton (btw, I also had my surgery with Chae at Skyridge).  There used to be one in Northglenn that was originally designed for Snyders patients.  But, I think that one stopped when the main leader had to back out.  There was also a Snyder one in Westminster near the Westy mall.  But, I don't know if they still meet or not. I haven't been in over a year.  :(  But, if you search on Snyders' website, you should be able to find current information.

I would attend if you had one in Thornton.  :D

Yvonne,

I am two weeks from attending the seminar at Rose Med Center and am hoping that Dr. Snyder is my provider. Is it too early for me to get involved in the support group?

Thank you,
Carrie

I have decided to go with Co Surgical grp so the Springs Penrose hospital is where its happening. I am doing RNY due to the amt I have to lose..hope to go lap and not open. Too Old for surgery? Crazy! If you want info on the surgical group--let me know. I go to my seminar this Monday so hopefully I will get a surgery date in the next 3 months. Hugs! Kim

Hi Joan-


Welcome to the site. I,too, am preop and waiting for a surgery date. I am glad you found the Co. message board and hope to hear from you often.

I have Medicare and BCBS , I called BCBS myself to find out what they require, then I turned it over to the surgions office. they havean Insurence coordinator that is really a big help.
