Topic: Looking for Surgeons in Colo Springs!
I am aware of the group of physicians at Colorado Springs Surgical Associates, but am wondering if there is anyone else in the Springs? I am having to appeal the denial because it is a plan exclusion, and IF they decided to cover it, I don't think these docs are on my insurance plan...
I would love to hear from / eChat with locals who have been through this process...
I am more than likely going to do it with or without insurance help, and was also wondering if there was anyone *****sides in Colorado Springs, but resides in Denver? How did that/ how is that going?
Thank you all. What a wonderful resource this site is!
Thank you all,
Tiffany

Topic: RE: Hello
Hi Phil,
I would like to offer you support however I have not yet had my surgery. I do understand the lack of support though, as I go into this with very few people knowing about it. I am looking to others as well, that have gone through this process.
I hope the past 6 months have gone well for you and that you have found some success! I'm happy to listen if you want to share! :)
Have a good night.

Topic: Consults Complete!
Hi All!
I am finished with all of my consults and even had my Primary Care NP take the blood work that Dr. Snyder requests!
I am all ready for my appointment 8 July!!!
Hopefully not too long after that I can get a surgery date.
I am just really excited about all of this; a new life awaits me and I can't seem to wait for it to begin.
Psych consult today was excellent, he said I was happy and very stable.
Now I wait and hopefully the insurance approval will come in fairly soon after my appt.
Cheers!
Megan

Topic: Hello
Hi everyone, I am new to this site, and am 6 months removed from lapband surgery. My family and friends dont necessarily understand what I am going through, and I would love to meet some people who have also undergone weight loss surgeries. I am struggling to maintain this new lifestyle, and would love support!
Topic: RE: Denver Metro Area- PCP who is WLS friendly?
Oh my goodness - I just posted a similar topic!!! How timely. I will keep this info in case I don't get a response to my post in the Broomfield Area.
Topic: Primary Care Physician Recommendation???
I live in Broomfield area. Just moved from Texas. My insurance doesn't require a Primary Care Physician but of course that's the best course of action for going through the surgery process. Can anyone recommend a PCP physician to me that they know supports WLS? I am planning to get the lap band. I am willing to go to Denver if absolutely necessary but Broomfield, Westminster, or Boulder (where I work) is preferred. Any names are appreciated. Just don't want to pick someone that is against surgery.
THANKS!
THANKS!
Topic: RE: OT: I need some help.. anyone know the colorado springs area?
Hi. I live in the security area. I love this area. the north side of the springs is so crowded now. I lived on both sides (on the Air force academy many years ago when it was less crowded, and now on the south end) and I can tell you I prefer the south end now because of the congestion of the north and even east powers end. I believe the area the realtors call this is fountain valley. If I were to move anywhere in the springs at this point, it would be the fountain/mesa ridge area. I prefer having space

Hi Raven!
I see Kate Johnson, a Nurse Practitioner at Canterbury Wellness Center over by Rose Hospital. Dr. Margaret Eagan is the MD and their office is AWESOME!
In fact, I saw Kate yesterday a.m. and she ran the blood work for Dr. Snyder!
The office # is 303 394 9355.

I have been seeing Kate for 5 years and she is excellent. She gets WLS and encouraged me to go for it. I feel as if she is in my corner with this process.
Hope this helps!

Can anyone recommend a PCP who is WLS friendly and understands chronic pain? My PCP is just clueless about both. Thanks in advance.
