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:)

I don't think I have posted in 2 years either Jaime! For everyone that doesn't know me, I'm Munchkin! AKA Heather. I was banded by Dr.K 3 years ago. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

And I'm Mini and I haven't posted for two years either. I was banded by Dr. K. in July of '08 and am coming to Denver for the shindig!

PS - Ignore my ticker. I have gained weight since this ticker, when I was at my all time low. Sigh.

Hey Mini!

Your current weight is my goal weight!!!

Yeah, wish I still weighed that much. Did realize how much I've gained over the past 18 months till I saw that ticker. :-(

I know this isn't our usual schedule, but would Red Robin Sunday May 1st at 7:00pm work for any of you? (my new schedule at work is M-Th and I don't get off until 8:30p)

Thanks!

It has been a LONG time since I posted here and I don't know if anybody would even remember me...although I am recognizing some of the names here still and used to be very active! Long story short, I got pregnant and had my beautiful baby girl in March 2010. Part of my incentive for getting banded was to become a healthy mom! I had a great pregnancy for the most part, gained 25 pounds. I did have high blood pressure that required me to be induced, but it was only three days before my due date. I lost the baby weight pretty quickly due to breastfeeding and stress. But here I am still about 30 pounds from my ultimate goal weight, pretty much where I was before I got pregnant. I have not had a fill since March 2009. I don't think I need one, I think I need to exercise regularly and make better food choices!

I am running my first 5K in September in honor of my cousin who is battling leukemia. I'm not even a runner so this should be interesting. When my husband's work schedule lets up a little I will be able to start training a few times a week.

That's really the jist of what's been up in my world in the past, well, almost two years! I will try to catch up a bit on the thread to see where some of you are these days. I work part-time from home now so I'm online most evenings.
