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:)

Okay, so I finally broke through this little plateau (hopefully). I lost one pound.

You've reached goal Missy! Congrats on your consistent weight loss this challenge!

Well I had my fill....then I went out to have my customary meal before leaving town and quickly when back for an unfil. He put in 1.7cc then took out 0.4cc. I have been very careful today. The protein shake for breakfast went down slowly. I am finally eating slowly and it is all going down. Let's see what this fill brings!

Well at least I didn't gain this week, but I am down0. lame

Wow Julie.ann it's a good thing that you stayed in town and had a bite to eat. What, may I ask is your customary meal before leaving town? 1.3cc is quite a lot actually. It doesn't seem that way, but it is.

Well at least I didn't gain this week, but I am down0. lame

Yes, at least you didn't gain. I always look at it that way. That's why I post +0.0 and not -0.0.

When do you start your new job?

Sure. Usually I nibble on some cottage cheese and chicken salad out in my vehicle and if that goes well I go to TGI Friday's and have the sizzlen chicken and cheese.

I forgot to nibble on the food in my blazer and I also usually let everything settle for about an hour or two, but my appt was late in the day and I was in a hurry to get out of town.

I'll never be in a hurry again. Things seem to be doing well. I am wondering if I may be tighter in the morning now. I never have been before. Every fill is different and I will take this one day at a time. I am at the lowest today than I have been in 6 weeks. I needed to see that! I have been on a platuea for about 2 months. Feels good to think I may be losing again!

I had Dr. K do my surgery on Jan 9th 2009- He is awesome!! Was nervous about not seeing him and seeing his assistant at one point- he is awesome 2!!! I have lost 105 pounds and totally reccomend Dr- K!!! Feel free to email or whatever with any questions:)

Yes, at least you didn't gain. I always look at it that way. That's why I post +0.0 and not -0.0.

When do you start your new job?

We move in on the 1st of september, so I am assuming that is when I start as well I must say that I am very excited for this change.DH and I are both registered for school, and I am getting more and more excited. I only have to take 6 classes to graduate, so hopefully I will be done with my associates by the spring! I am taking an english a computer class, and calligraphy for my fine art. Funny how none of my music classes count for a fine art requirement. But Calligraphy is one of my hobbies, so I am excited to learn more about it. I have already planned a garden that I want to start in the spring since I will have the space. Can you tell I am just excited about this whole thing?!?!
