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:)

Hey Julie,

Dee, hope you are feeing better by now

Welcome Danyett!

Thanks...... I joined the fitness club at work and have gone every workday.... woohoo me!

Good for you Danyett. Excercise is the one thing that I truly have not been motivated enought to get serious about. Might explain my slow weight loss!

Good Job! I know that will make a big difference in your weight loss!

Well... for our first weigh in I managed to gain 1.8 :biggrin:. It's been TOM and I have not been as careful eating as I should. Just gives me more incentive for next week :mad:

Snowgator -5 lbs

PartyAntOvrYt -25 lbs

laptastic -16 lbs

deboregon -10lbs

Kayleighsmommy -15 lbs/ +1.8

Coloradomom -25 lbs

Lap_dancer -8 lbs

minidriver -12 lbs

mem620 -15 lbs

Please let me know if I missed you on the list, and you would like to join this challenge.

What day is weigh-in?

Don't worry, K'smom, that 1.8 will be back off in no time. Remember the old days when you could gain 7 lbs in a week? I sure do!

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

Wow! That side view is Amazing!

Do you have kids? I have 4, and my lower tummy looks similar to your befores... I just can't imagine how its going to be after I lose the weight. Sag City!

You are such an inspiration!

Yep, I have two kids (27 and 30) and my lower tummy has looked like that since the first one was born (c-section). Well, I guess it wasn't quite as bad, but it didn't look very good. I can't believe how I look from the side. It's just weird. I really can't remember ever being that flat from the side. You'll be there before you know it!!

Saturday is our weigh in day, since Saturday is Halloween.

Hello! I am down 3 lbs this week! YAY!! I didn't expect to see the tummy tuck weight come off so quickly. This is swell!

Hi Julie. I was also down 1.4 last week. I thought it was posted at one point, but then it disappeared. So mine should say -1.4, then -3.

Congrats on reaching the 250's! It's always so exciting to reach one of those milestones.

Deb, have a blast at your reunion tonight and a wonderful trip. I'm glad your mom is doing better.
