Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum

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:)

Hi my Denver friends!

Sometimes I wonder if its worth taking vacation - I have up to my ears in alligators since my return. I'd love to join you all on the "gambling junket" in November, if there's room in the car.

I'm going to try and attached two photos. One is from July of 2008 and the other is from July 2009. Hopefully, you all can see a difference...I'm down 50 pounds between the two.

Mary

I may not be here in Denver! I found out there is a class in MN, I have to attend! I'm trying to find a different session! MN in November is not my idea of fun! I'm going to be working on it! It just came up this morning!

YOU Are more than welcome to join us! What fun! I hope I'm there! I can see the difference in your pictures! Wow! You look so much younger!

wow... it has been kind of quiet here!!!

Not a peep! Peep! Peep! Peep!

where is everyone?

I stupidly volunteered to work extra! 4 - 12 hour nights in a row! I'm an idiot! Mini is in the road! and I am waiting to hear from Patty about her new test results!

Oops! I am working extra that night and won't be able to join! We are crazy busy and I need the money, so I volunteered without checking my scheduler! I'm sorry!!

I think Snowgator, Laptastic and Kayleighsmommy are going to be there. Anyone else?

I'm a "for sure" for Red Robin on Sunday. 7pm, right? I'm also up for the gambling trip. I can drive and fit three people besides myself very comfortably or four if we all lose ten pounds by then.

You're hilarious!!! I'll try to lose 10 lbs by then! BUT I can take 7 including myself in my Highlander. I've never used the 3rd seat, but I'm willing to give it a go!

I'm a for sure too :confused:

Lucky girl! I wish I was going to Red Robin! I am so hungry for a good salad! Yum!

I'm at work tonight! The 2nd of 4 and I am so ready to go home! It is 0149am and I am done! Spent! Exhausted!

Down 3 lbs this week. Thanks. Hope all are good. I'm proceeding with my Liver La Bamba. Next week before I hear any news on the first round of tests.

Lady Dee, i can't conceive of returning to denver and not seeing you!:blink: Anon, alas, and alack!:frown: (Can u tell i'm preparing 4 a week at the shakespearean festival?:unsure:)

how canst a troupe of banditos carry on whilst they are den8ied the presence and counsel of their beloved duchess?:tt1::w00t::lol::sleep:

Hi Ladies,

I am jumping on your bandwagon, if there is room (?)....My surgery with Dr. Brown in Denver is set for Sept 1st., and so I am a total newbie hoping to learn from you all.

New as I am, I got to have lunch with KayleighsMommy yesterday after my first meeting with Dr. B! I am so grateful for her efforts to reach out and help me! Thank you KayleighsMommy! How cool to meet IRL. She told me a little bit about you all and the Red Robin meetings - I look forward to meeting you some day when I return to Denver for one of my fills.

Counting down the days until this surgery!!!!

Have a great weekend!

Welcome Colorado! I just met with KayleighsMommy at Red Robin tonight. She mentioned you. Let us know when you're back in town and we can do an impromptu Red Robin get together.

Hi friends.

I have some late night work I'm doing. Funny thing, since I got out of the hospital hubby NEVER complains anymore about my nocturnal habits, lights on..tv on..he can't sleep..., he seems grateful just to have me here. Nice feeling.

I am so game for RR but I'll have to hold you all in my heart as school starts on Thursday for me. I miss you all so much my banditos.

Theresa you are funny..getting us to all lose ten lbs for the gambling trip..ha. Now there's a girl who is dedicated to gambling.

I was thinking how nice it would be to invite Dr. K to one of our gatherings waaaaaaaaay in advance of the actual gathering so we could plan a time that is good for him. I owe so much to that man I can't begin to describe it.

We also should do a cruise together. There has to be more of us out there that can piggy back together and do some lovely cruise someplace.

Greetings to the newbie. Welcome to our Dr. K banditos. Colorado is an awesome state and I am envious that you live there.

Mem620 your hooters are going down and your face is getting some structure to it. You do look different. I love your top, I have one just like it...smiles.

I'm making my school shopping list now. My pens that I can't do without, notebooks, binders, and all that stuff.

Everyone have a great week.

Love to all.

Patty

Patty, besides gambling, I also love cruises. Especially cruises with casinos on board.

I started back to school last week! The summers keep getting shorter. Don't you hate the first few days of school? Teachers talk the entire time and my shoulder kills me until about week three.

I am down 2 pounds this week. :blink: Yayyyyy... I finally hit my 75 pounds loss. That was one nasty 21 pounds... it took me 10 months to lose it :thumbup:

I have been doing really well these last few weeks, I know it can't last forever, but I'll take the losses where I can get em. :wub:
