I was just wondering if you could give me some pros and cons on the whole experience. I've noticed you are an awesome blogger. LOL! Any info. would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

I'm in Durango and just had surgery w/ Dr. K last Wednesday. Pros... great surgeon, efficient, personable, organized... Cons... Denver is a long way from Durango but everywhere is a long way from Durango. :) We spent four nights in a hotel, but what a nice hotel it was for recuperation and allowing my dh to work from the room (and me to sleep). I'm back at work today but am thinking it will be a short day.

Re: Colorado Recommendations??

Hi Robin,
Thanks for the info. I'm in Grand Junction, but grew up in Farmington. What made you decide to do the band? I'm kinda torn on whether to do the band or the sleeve.
Thanks again!

For some reason, cutting off a hunk of my stomach bothered me. (What if I need that part of my stomach later for some reason?) I don't want to lose teeth either.


ETA,,, teeth comment has nothing to do with wls, it's just a commentary on how much I like my original parts.

Re: Colorado Recommendations??

Yeah, that kinda bothers me too. I'm just trying to weigh (LOL) all my options. But the LAP-BAND® is my first choice. I'm just wondering about the long term effects of the band. I heard people don't really have any problems until like the 1-3 year mark. Have you heard that?
