Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum



Recommended Posts

That chick Colorado Crazy was just in another post extolling the virtues of her surgeon and how wonderful he is. I pointed out to her that for all she rips on Dr.K, her surgeons program sounds exactly like his!! Hmmmm.....

And she also said that you can reach her surgeon ANYTIME via cell phone. Being a nurse, that one just made me laugh my arse off!! Good luck with that one honey!!!

(Ok, so I am being a little bitchy but come on, she had it coming...)

Yes, mine rubs on it terribly. It gets very sore. Maybe I just need to get the girls lifted up to my chin, lol.

Tally!! That sucks!! I am sorry to hear that!

I think we need to find therapists and plastic surgeons that will give us a group discount!! Since we all need our moods and our boobs lifted! :smile2:

Oh, and I agree-my tolerance for stupidity and crazy people is at an all time low right now. Colorado Crazy fits right into that category so....

I was thinking we should try to get a BOGO for restraining orders! One for your ex and one for mine! Maybe one for that stupid sitter freakazoid!

Oh! I'm sure I'll fit right in! Esp. if I'm still PMS'g by then! I'll be worse than Puff Mama and I'll be meaner than a rattle snake! I'm sure I'll make lots of friends AND scare many children!

Do they really think I'll be giving out candy? That's insane! I have a band! I'm going to be giving out candy! I'll be giving our Fiber Chews! That's it!

I was hoping that stupid therapist would have given me some advice or anything, but not!! He probably wasn't even listening to me! Like this morning, he's already called me 4 times AND I'm at work! Yesterday, he called about 10 times before the end of the day! I wanted to scream!!!

I completely ignored my ex after he dumped me 2.5 yrs ago. Has been the best decision ever. My Dad said, "just write him off", and I did.

Don't be disappointed that you "let yourself" fall back into emotional eating. Skinny people do it too! It's part of life, so there's no shame in washing the pain away with a pint of B&J Magic Brownies...or a fifth of some goooood tequila! :tongue2:

You know, I agree. Life is hard, and people cope with it lots of ways. I could be a compulsive gambler or take drugs. A little ben & JERRY'S THERAPY is not the worst thing one can do

I'm a Parrothead though - a total Jimmy Buffett freak. I've seen him 3 times - last year I actually traveled from NC to Tampa Bay to see him in November! Love that man :wub:

Buffet concerts are sooo much fun! have you read his books? There are too many characters and I just can't keep track of his plots.

Is he related to my husband? It sounds like they have the same stalker gene or something. And maybe I can get a group discount if you fly here and go to my therapist!

Hey ladies, instead of therapy we need a few days at a swanky resort that has a spa! Who's planning that???

Let me ask you something....my soon to be ex just told me he has been seeing the sitter that sat with him while he was in the hospital outside the hospital. I think that is awfully inappropriate of her....what do you think?

At our hospital we have a policy against dating patients. She should be reported.

Awe...thank you so much! Thats so nice of you. I am in Westminster so I will make a trip to the local Walgreens.:wink2:

One more question, did any of you have trouble swallowing after surgery?

YES! My throat hurt so bad for 3 days. I got desperate, and had my daughter buy me that spray that tastes horrible, but numbs the back of your throat. Also had a lot of popsicles.

It would be nice if he could go further down just 1/2 inch so the bra doesn't rub on it all day :)

Tally, don't forget that bikini you and I are going to make a million dollars designing that has the wide band to cover our scars!

Have a great night, everybody!

Does anyone here like watching ghost hunting shows like Ghosthunters or Paranormal State?

PD

No trouble swallowing...just a sore throat from the breathing tube. I was nervous that I would be a little tight and it would be hard to swallow, but was fine. You will feel a little restricted to begin with, but it will soon loosen up (unless your a lucky one). You will do AWESOME!!!!

Let me know if you need anything...I am just up the highway in Brighton.

Brandy~Thank you! One of the girls(uptownmami) who had surgery yesterday isn't doing very well so I'm very concerned and even more anxious. I didn't get a chance to speak w/her but she was shaking her head giving me the :tongue2:. I hope she is doing better tonight. By the way, I still would like to do lunch sometime, possibly in Oct. when all of the "hoopla" has died down. :wub:

I didn't have any problem either. In fact, I went out to dinner the next day with this really wonderful lady I met in Denver. I think her name was . . . .dee???? Yes, I think that's right:smile:[/quote

Mini~ This gives me great hope and motivation. I hope I have a speedy recovery.:)

I too, need the girls lifted. Mine gets irritated.

You girls are so funny! Tally, that would irritate me to no end. Yikes! I may have to bring this to Dr.Ks attention before surgery. My "frisbee" is irritating enough w/out something rubbing on it. Ouch!:wink2:

Cassy~I'm so happy I got to see you today. You looked awesome and I can't believe you were in jeans. I hope you continue to do well. Have a safe and comfortable flight home. DO NOT go back to work on Mon. if you are not ready!:wink2: Please keep us posted on your progress as you start to feel better.

Uptownmami~You poor thing! I felt so bad for you today. I'm not sure what was going on but it didn't look good. Please post w/a quick update when you feel better. I have a feeling you won't be flying home tomorrow so let me know if there is anything I can do over the weekend. I would be more than happy to bring you whatever you need. :smile2: I'm just worried about you and want you to feel better. Sending lots of hugs your way!:wub:

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
