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:)

YAY!!! I just had my unfill! Dr. K took out .4 and I feel SO MUCH BETTER!!! I had 2 chicken strips and a 5 ounce bowl of salad at the hospital cafeteria to test it out. I haven't been able to eat salad for so long!!!! I am ecstatic! I can go back to eating what I am supposed to because I actually can EAT IT!!! I am looking forward to making food again because I can eat!!! YAY!!! I love unfills!!! Ok, maybe I am a little crazy, but it really has been about 6 months since I have been able to eat things besides soups and slider foods, but I still managed to lose 20lbs in 6 months. I am headed home now, waiting for my flight. I hope it's less bumpy than the last one. It's the only time I have actually gotten nauseated on a flight.

I assume you mean the rounding and the centering?

I'd choose all the blue blocks from Laptastic down (shift and mouseclick) and then click on the "align" icon. Choose "center". Keeping those same fields chosen, click on the "123" icon and choose "two decimals".

Thank you so much!!!!

Marie, I am so happy to hear that you're able to eat again! I think being too tight just sounds awful. Have a wonderful flight . . . I hope it's not bumpy either. It's really not my favorite flight . . . .
Ugh, what a fiasco! So Kayleigh's Mommy, Coloradomom and I were supposed to meet tonight at Chili's on Colorado Blvd. and I25 (my restaurant suggestion, by the way). I was running late, coming from water aerobics, so as I raced up I25, I noticed that the Chili's I meant was at Hampden, not Colorado (oops). So I run in there, they aren't there. So I find the only Chili's on Colorado...not there. So I go back to the one on Hampden...not there. Of course, I don't have Julie's number with me, so I give up at about 7:55 and go home. Meanwhile, Julie is leaving me messages on my home phone (doesn't have my cell number with her) saying she is running late, then that they are at Chili's. Moral to the story: 1)put phone numbers in your cell phone. I should have done that already. 2)know what you're talking about when you select a restaurant to meet at.

So sad I couldn't meet up with them tonight.

So sorry we missed you!!!! I feel like it is my fault for making you guys come out to the city...and poor Julie driving around trying to find me because I had no car!

Next time for sure!

Don't feel bad at all. We look forward to the get togethers and would've picked you up from the mountains if that's where you were. It was just a series of unfortunate events and a serious error in communication on my part.

Looking forward to meeting you next time.

Marie I'm happy you are back at center. Way to go.

Hey guys

For those in the challenge I put together a spreadsheet on google docs. Not sure if it is going to be more user friendly or not, but I like the fact that it keeps totals. Eyeryone can go in and edit it weekly for themselves, or I can edit it.

If you guys don't like it... no biggie, we can stay with the way we have been doing it. I won't be offended if someone doesn't like the format/doesn't want to do it this way.

I must confess..... I actually stole this format from another thread :(

Please give me feedback, positive :thumbup: or negative. :smile:

Here is the link to it.

Hey, any loss is a good loss. :frown: How is the fill treating you?? Any restriction yet??? Hoping so. Look forward to seeing you again soon. Hopefully we won't have the same craziness as last week :blink:

Wow!!!! Looking great:thumbup: You look like you are healing quite well. Love the new belly button!!!! :wink2:

Thanks, Julie! I like my new belly button too. I'm sure I used to have one, but I haven't seen it in years.

Nothing new here, that's why I haven't posted anything. Looking forward to fall break from school. I'm going to Lake Tahoe for three nights (Harvey's casino is flying me and a friend there), then two hours after landing back here, flying to Cancun with three friends from work for a three night stay. Must lose at least ten pounds before that. I've got about three weeks.
