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:)

Oh yea. Since I've been on the hormones, I want to eat eat eat. I am full and cannot eat another thing and I am hungry. This can go on for a couple days at a time. This is different from the famous "head hunger" we are always on about. It's almost like a drive. Then it's gone. I try to drink more or give serious thought to getting a chew toy.

Hmmmmmm... a chew toy. I might have to consider it :scared2:

We, females with our hormone shifts have to deal with stuff men never have to! It's not fair!

It sure is not!!!! :scared2:

Well ladies, it is the day after Halloween. Hopefully no one hit the left over candy too hard :scared2:

I was wondering if anyone would like to do a Christmas Challenge?? Christmas is 7 weeks from Friday (YIKES!!!!) I am happy to keep track (the original way...sorry the new experiment in record keeping did not work out well at all for the last challenge)

If you want to do one we can do our first weight this coming Friday.

So, is ANYBODY going to meet me Wed. night at Red Robin??:scared2:

Sure, I am up for another challenge. I came in short on the Halloween challenge. Up 1 pound from last week. :scared2:

Deb,

I can come but I will be a bit late. I can't get there til 8:30ish or so. I am doing a lecture series at the Science Museum. It is called Mini Med School. This is our last week and they are speaking about cancer (I am very interested in this subject due to the issues with my MIL) So, I don't want to miss this.

I am hoping others will be there, and sticking around for awhile. If not, you and I can catch a meal somewhere after my class if you'd like.

Years ago I had a toothbrush that I chewed on. I also used to chew on peach seeds (didn't crack them open, so didn't have to worry about being poisoned). Both seemed to help at the time. I didn't have any candy. I didn't even really want it.

Right now I am sore all over from my ribs to my hips. I can't wait for surgery as I have no idea what is cyst caused and what might be something else. My ribs are sore and sometimes it's like I can feel my band, which I know I can't. I was afraid I'd slipped for a bit, but since I have no symptoms of it, I am pretty sure my ribs are loose again. I see my D.O. on Friday for my pre-op check-up. I will have him pop them back in. Seriously, how can something so tiny mess everything up so thoroughly?

How's the knee coming? I also haven't seen any updates on the perfect new tummy. My mom and my sister are moving back to Denver next summer, so I will have a free place to stay. It would actually be cheaper to fly there and see him than go here. Plus the shopping is better.

Julie: I will meet you at Red Robin on Arapahoe. I will get there earlier, 8ish, in case someone else shows up. Haven't heard word one from anyone else, other than Dee, who is going to be out of town.

Did this site change something? I couldn't get to this page the regular way.

I'll meet you and Julie for dinner. Red Robin on Arapahoe is fine, but if somewhere else works better for you two, I can go anywhere. I can be there any time after about 7:30. I'll check this board for info, but you can call my cell if you want, too. 303-669-2350

Hey Deb,

It looks like it will be me, you and Teresa (Laptastic) . Where are you staying? That RR is fairly far for both of us.... is there somewhere closer to where you're staying you would like to go?? (If not, RR will be fine with us.) My cell is 734-395-0548

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Hope you have a great flight.... and NO falling this time. :scared2:

Julie, its a good thing we had that pizza the other night - I have some major restriction now and pizza is not in my future for now! I went from 4 ccs to 6 ccs. Really feeling it!

Thanks again for a fun dinner!

Just thought I wold check in and say hi! Not much going on here. My unfill has been bliss!! I am getting much less reflux, and am not having trouble eating now. I am hoping to set up a fill after Thanksgiving, and if I need another, just before Christmas, because we will have a 5 hour layover in Denver on our way to my Mom's for Christmas. I haven't been gaining at all, just playing around with the same few pounds, but I didn't expect to lose with the unfill. I am just grateful that it is so much easier to eat now, but I need to reign it in so I don't get carried away :thumbup: . I hope you are all doing well, and maybe someday my fills will sync up with you guys so I can come to RR sometime too!
