My 2005 Chevy Trailblazer was put on a computer and said that the thermostat was staying open and needed changed because the temperature gauge was reading 210 degrees.

210 degrees is within normal operating parameter, what you more than likely had was a P0128 trouble code(very common issue), and what that is that your PCM detected coolant temp below t stat regulating temp. So youve more than likely solved that problem with new t stat.
