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:)

Hey Girl! 5.9 is nothing to sneeze at! I think that's great too!

Yeah, it's okay. I have to really work to keep it there.

No, actually it's really good! It means that you're in good control and that your average blood sugar is running less than 132. That's very good! It's within normal limits.

When you do return to work? How long are you taking off?

I'm on sabbatical working on a book proposal. I don't have to go back till January. Whoohoo!!!

Wow! That's great!!!

Yeah, it was very fortunate timing that I was eligible to apply this year. Otherwise it would have been very difficult to even get two weeks off in a row, since I also teach during summer semester.

I did no dancing. Not sure you could call what the kids did dancing either...more like foreplay. You'd be horrified to see how teenagers dance these days (wow, I sound old). Lots of grinding and they don't ever face each other.

Luckily, all my purchases at Party City were covered by the school.

lol I don't want to know what the teenages are doing my oldest just started high school this year.... yikes!!!!!:biggrin:

My legs appear shorter too, but I think it's because of the hanging skin. If I wear the Spanx and pull everything up where it belongs (I know, bad visual) I fit in a Tall - if not, I need a regular. It's not so good!

I thought I was the only one who had to pull up the stuff in front. If I didn't have all that front end, I know I'd be in wee size pants. Wee size for me that is.

I had an up then down week. Early in the week was a slide up, later in the week I slid right down. So I ended up where I started.

.................................. Patty stayed the same this week.

Dee I am waiting with an arm of roses to hear about your procedure. :biggrin:

Hello everyone...its been a long time. How are you dee? Your new picture is beautiful....you look so thin. My weight was stable for awhile and then lost another 5 lbs recently. I still can't believe I am in the 160's. I do wish I could afford a tummy tuck. I would like to be on the new challenge but I lose very slow now. I really need to start exercising again. Been bad about that. I guess I could try for 5 lbs for the Halloween challenge. Congrats to everyone on their continued weight loss.

Hey Bella!

I think about you all of the time and wonder how you're doing! I can't believe that you weigh in the 160's. My dream is to be in Onederland.

I have come so far, but I have so far to go that sometimes I get discouraged. I want to start living my life at a healthy normal weight so I'll just keep plugging along!

72 days til my TT and Brachioplasty! I can't wait!

Don't ever give up dee...you have done so good and after you surgery....you will look fabulous....you look great now. You are very dedicated and should be very proud of how far you have come....keep up the good work.

Miss dee, you are such a freakin' rock star. I think when you get your surgeries, you are going to be amazed at how good you look and feel, and how that will give you a whole new burst of resolve. You have done such an amazing job, and the rest of us could take a big lesson from you.

I posted some more tummy tuck pics, if anybody wants to see them.

Yep, I was surprised at how much my labs changed after surgery. Still happy to be taking one less pill.

I got stuck tonight. It was annoying, but fortunately whatever it was went through after a bit of cacking. Chicken breast is dangerous. I wonder what I missed since I eat chicken breast all the stupid time.

I do soup and soft meats and really haven't tried anything tough. I do have an addiction to Cookie Crisp. I crave it now. Fortunately, you can eat quite a bit of it for a low calorie count. I am having some oatmeal. I eat a lot of oatmeal, probably extra for the next couple days, just in case. It seems to stick with me and has other benefits. Avoid peaches and cream flavor, yick.

I have to start exercising too. I get some every day, but have to get back into the workout program.

Hey Julie,

sorry, I didn't even weigh this week..to ovewhelmed with life in general this week, starting a new job, etc.

Dee, hope you are feeing better by now

Welcome Danyett!
