Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum

I mean, at my age should I be getting breast implants? Wouldn't that be kind of silly? On the other hand, if I'm going to have surgery, maybe I should go ahead and have good looking boobs too. I don't know.

Either way, it was kind of exciting and fun.

yayyy for you. my 2 cents???

Go for the boobs :thumbup: :cool2: :thumbup: :tt2: :mellow:

julie

Thanks Julie. I tried some on and I kind of liked how they looked. They were pretty small, but they looked kind of good!

I'm coming to Colorado! I'll be out there April 7th, Tuesday, will stay a couple days and probably fly out on Thursday. I can tell I am starting to need a fill. My inbetween meals is getting closer now. Use to be four or five hours I could hold and maybe feel a tiny bit of hunger but now I am at three hours and feeling hunger.

*Isn't it great to know what it's like to FEEL hunger?* :tongue2:

Can we do a meet up on that Tuesday or Wednesday evening? I would love to meet some of you that can make it. :)

We could have a great time!!

Let me know.

Hello all!

Had my surgery yesterday! I am feeling remakably well, sore belly, mostly when I stand up or lay down. I thought I'd have much more pain like when I had my gallbladder out. Finally got to meet Dr.K and his staff, just as sweet as I thought he;d be, If my husband had any doubts he felt much better after meeting him. The hospital staff was fabulous, never had that kind attention before surgery.

We had a terrible time getting here, first the Atlanta airport was closed so they rerouted us through NY which was closed after waiting around 5 hours. Had to spend the night in Raleigh, then missed 2 other flights because Raleigh had snow that morning, Finally got into Denver half an hour after my appoint with Dr. K. So much for a little relaxing sightseeing!

We're staying at the Comfort suites in Engelwood. Great room with a min kitchen and a large sitting room with sofa and dining table. I would highly recommend it to anyone from out of town,

Well, I am so excited about the next year, thank you all SO MUCH for your encouragement and great advise!Lap-Dancer, I'll be back for my first fill on April 7 th, I'd love to meet you gals, keep me informed!

Hi Everyone...

I haven't been on in ages! Sounds like everyone is doing well...I am still about 10-12 from goal and am getting a little sick of the scale not moving. Still hitting the gym 3-5 days a week and am happy to see definition.

Went to a reunion for HS an everyone said I looked better now than in HS, also got hit on a few times. Would be fun if I were single... :blush:

Hope everyone continues to do so well!

GREAT Cheryl. I'll be there at Dr. K's office for my 2:15 appt. What time is your appt?

I can try the Comfort Suites in Engelwood. I am all about prices right now.

Glad you got home safely. That was one week storm, ya know?

YES, I thought the surgery was relatively painless in comparison to a few other surgeries I have had which were off the chain pain, whereas the band was mostly isolated to my surgical site. I understand what you mean by comparing it to your other surgery.

Anyone else around the states suffering from this sickness with symptoms of everything from nausea to nose? My school clinic looks like a checkout line at Christmas this past week especially.

Everyone at work is seriously in need of Spring Break. You can imagine how our state exploads with tourists over the next month. Traffic is getting progressively more congested and driving home in the afternoon is adding ten minutes to my afternoon drive due to the breakers.

Cherly I would love to meet up. Let's plan on it.

Tell me your appt. time. I know you want to tour a little around. So do I.

Possible places to dine. I'm thinking American mix, good Soups. I found these places:

Mesquite House East 9668 East Arapahoe Road

Black Eyed Pea Restaurant8505 East Arapahoe Road

Rockbottom Brewery & Restaurant*several locations

Rockbottom looks fun. Check out the menu:tt2:

Food Menu - Steak, Seafood, pastas, Sandwiches and More - Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery

>>YUM

Chicken Waldorf Saladua_rbr_food_bug_fav.gifua_rbr_food_bug_new.gif

Oven–roasted chicken, sundried cranberries, fresh arugula

Okay who wants to ROCK with me at Rockbottom?

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
