Hi there,

I am considering Dr. Kirshenbaum in Aurora, CO (www.lapbandrockies.com) I know that there are a few of you in LBT that went to him. I am interested in knowing your thoughts on him and if you have had any complications. I am just a little leary since the price is so low, there is little on the internet about him, and I will be traveling from WI to have this done. Any information you could provide would be much apppreciated...

Thanks!

Sheila:)

Deb,

Thanks very much for the good wishes.

Hope you have fun at the casino. I am planning on taking my MIL (if she is up to it) in early July....and I am looking forward to it!!! How is your mom doing, by the way?? (well, I hope)

well, home from the casino and WE ALL WERE LOSERS! we had a good time but wish one of us could win. boy, my butt really hurt all day..too much sitting, which pulls on the hamstring. will take3 a pain pill tonight. mom has three days of appts next week (including chemo) and i have jury duty....ah, the life of a retiree!!:thumbup:

Dave~ Wish I could help, but I live in SLC so it's kinda far.

Deb~ Sounds like you guys had a fun day together!

After 2 weeks of fighting and trying to stick to protein shakes, and soft/liquid proteins I had a weak moment last night and ate most of a large oreo shake. Low and behold I think I again have the problem of not getting enough calories, because I have lost 1.5!!!! I am going to try harder to keep my calories up so that I might start losing again. Hope everyone is doing well!!

well, i knew last week was an aberration:crying: i am up 1.9 this week...arghhhh:angry:

But look you still maintained that 6.7 loss from last week!!!

Well I guess you can put me down for a 0.3 loss. I almos had a gain this week so I shouldn't complain. I lost more today from yesterday, but if I can maintain that it will be on next week's numbers.

Julie, I'm glad to hear everything was ok with your band!

Hey everyone. Hope all are doing great and staying cool. It is a hellish 98 degrees with a feels like temp of 110. Thinking of those cool mountains out there.

Dee..put me down minus 5 pounds. I've got great restriction.

All for now.

Well, I am back from Denver. The surgery went well and the trip home wasn't that bad. It was interesting to have all my liquid drugs bomb tested at the airport. I am sore and I just removed the nausea patch, so my fine vision should return soon. I am also moving towards being able to breathe deeply again. My cats missed me and want lay on me. Nothing is coming back up, so, so far so good. I admire those who can go back to work a couple days after this, but I wouldn't have been able to. I am glad I was able to take the extra time off.

Congratulations on getting your band!!! I am glad that all went well and you are home safe. I needed more time to recover too. I didn't have a job at the time so that helped, but those people who go back in a few days amaze me! I hope your recovery is quick though!

You can put me down for +.6 <sigh> I planned on losing 10 pounds... not gaining!!!

Hi Dee,

Please put me down for another 1 pound loss. I'm happy with that because my b-day was this weekend. We spent the night at Fortune Valley and I ate a surprising amount of crab legs and oysters! Oh well, it was low carb anyway!

Mary

I want to use Dr. Kirshenbaum. Natalie said I need to bring another person with me because "The surgery center will not discharge you to a cab driver because you are under the influence of narcotics (general anesthesia)." But I really have anyone that can come with me. :w00t:

Any ideas??

Dave

Natalie emailed me about a service in the area that will take care of this for $166.00 sounds like a life saver to me! I am really excited now! I can't wait!!!

:biggrin:

:blushing:

I'm glad you will have someone with you! Have you gotten a date yet?

Dee, put me down for a +1 this week. I am doing terrible lately but I also had Tom last week. I am going to the beach on July 18...so I am going to "kick it up a notch" and really start watching and exercising.
