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:)

Well, I am all set to get a fill on the 12th. Sorry I can't make RR the night before. I just changed my schedule and am not taking any classes this semester so my only days off are Tuesday and Thursday. And since I am the only one with a job I really can't miss work. I am really excited to get back on with losing. I started weighing myself again, and must say that I am pleased that I haven't gained anything being as loose as I am. I just need to focus on staying on track for me.

Sorry we're going to miss you! But I understand.

I am going to get my first fill in over a year on Jan 28th. It's the day before my two year Bandiversary and I am ready to kick the new year off. I've lost a lot on my own, but I'm ready to return to using my tool! I have 96lbs left before I'm at my final goal!

Prty,

You can do it! 2 lbs a week is a reasonable goal and I'm sure you'll get to goal this year.

I want to get to goal by my birthday in July..think i have gotten a little lazy, as it is nice to be in smaller sizes, but I'm still not where I need to be.

2010 is OUR year! :smile2:

Hi Julie,

I ended up gaining a couple of pounds Christmas, but got them off right away. My total loss during the challenge was 7 pounds - not the 12 I was hoping for - but still a loss.

What time do we meet at RR on the 11th?

That'll work. I can't wait to see the new you Dee!

See you guys tomorrow (Monday) night! not sure of my work schedule yet, but I'll be there eventually.

I'll be at Red Robin on Monday too, but I'll be coming from water aerobics, so I'll try to be there by 7:15ish.

Let's meet at 7pm. I hope you will be there!!

Wish I could be there!!!!

Someone please bring a camera I would love to see some smiling faces posted here from Red Robin.

Sure, I'll bring a camera, and Prty always has hers too!

Everyone was just lovely!

It was such a pleasure to see all the Sweeties!

The Dr. K Fan Club has yet another meeting! LOL!

Great to see everybody.

Hi everyone,

I just have to butt in with a quick question:

For those out-of-towners, how do you travel from the airport to the doctor's office on the days of your fills? A cab price is around $125 (one way, yikes!), a car rental is around $100 (per day, that's the best I could find on Expedia) and a shuttle is around $25 (one way). But I can only find shuttles to near by hotels, not the office.

How does this all work?

Since SuperShuttle will take you from your house to the airport and reverse, I can't imagine why it wouldn't take you from the airport to Dr. K's office. Yep... www.supershuttle.com will take you to/from the airport to a business ($38 round-trip to Dr. K's office).

I've never used SS for my fills, but did use it numerous times when I DID live in Denver and needed airport transport from my home.

Thanks Robin, that's exactly what I was looking for. I just didn't know how to search for it.

Thank you!
