  1. Happy 52nd Birthday 1hawgfan!

  2. Happy 51st Birthday 1hawgfan!

  3. 4 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 4th Anniversary 1hawgfan!

  4. I had surgery on Aug. 1, 2007. I have done pretty good until the last 3-4 days. I am able to eat just about anything and I do not fill very restricted. Is this normal? I have been told this is normal until you have your first fill. Is this true? How often do most of you have to have a fill?
  5. Hi.....I just had my surgery in Denver by Dr. Kirshenbaum. He is great!!! You will just love him. He is so compassionate and he loves doing this for people. That is why he brought his rate down so low. I will be going back to him around the 1st of Sept. for my first fill. You will be happy you went to him. His has not had any complications from any of his lap bands. He was the first surgeon in Colorado to do any Laproscopic Surgery. I rate him a 10 on a scale of 1-10.
  6. I just got back from Colorado yesterday. Dr. Kirshenbaum did my lap band on Wednesday August 1st. He is tops in my book. He is so compassionate. His price is so low because he wanted to be competitive with the price in Mexico. It is affordable and worth any of you searching for a doctor and a place to have the surgery done. The Crown Pointe Hospital in Parker CO. is like brand new. I would rate it a 10 on a scale of 1-10. The nurses and the care I recieved while I was there is not to be compared with ones I have even worked in as a nurse. The cost is $9950.00 for everything. That even includes the price for returning for your fills. Dr. Kirshenbaum explained everything to me and made me feel comfortable about my concerns. He will explain to you why his cost is so low. He is not in it to make money for himself. He loves doing this to help people that really need the help. I don't know how I could trust any other doctor as I trusted him. He has done (a bunch) of lap bands. I do not remember the number he told me. He was also the first surgeon in Colorado to do laproscopic surgery. He just loves doing it. He gave me his cell phone number and told me to call him at any hour of the day or night if I needed him. He will even be glad to talk to your doctor where ever you live. He will do anything he can to help you. He called me on his own on Thursday just to check on me. My experience there was excellent and I would recommend him to anyone. Just check it out before you go to Mexico or anywhere else. If anyone has any questions regarding Dr. Kirshenbaum don't hesitate to contact me. Marty Ault Banded on August 1st, 2007
  7. Hi....I just got back from Dr. Kirshenbaum's yesterday and had my lap band placed on Wednesday Aug. 1. He is wonderful!!! I love him!!! He is in it to help people like us. He gave me his cell phone number and told me to call him at any hour of the day if I had any questions. He has done a bunch of lap bands. He was the first Dr. in Colorado to do laproscopic surgery. The hospital he does it at is top class. It is like a new hospital. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to contact me. I highly recommend him!!! He is so dedicated and in it to help you. He started crying Friday when I left. He is so compassionate and understanding.

    How sore should we be?

    I was banded on August 1st. I was sore the first 2 days. It is getting better each day. I think it will all go away after the first week or two.

    Hi Tidefan.....Who in Denver does this? I am thinking about going to Detroit to have it done for $11,700.00. It cost over $16,000.00 in Little Rock.
