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:)

We meet at the Red Robin at Arapahoe and I-25.

Snowgator and Julie, I need to check my schedule at work tonight. I'm in the middle of moving, so I'm insanely busy!

I'd love to meet up with everyone. I saw Rene and Theresa at the retirement party - along with John and it was so nice!

Rene looks super beautiful! Theresa is so looking really good! We enjoyed a really nice visit AND we ate some cake too!

I know, naughty! BUT so good!

I always said, "I didn't get this band to diet the rest of my life!" Dan, you will be able to eat, just less and better choices! I am a new person today!

I love the Band! Love it! It saved my life!

I'll try to post tonight or tomorrow with dates that I can meet you all!

Heard from Mim. She says she can probably make Dec 3 or 4. I'm open any day, so we'll just have to see who can make it when and let majority rule.

Kinda excited. Most likely going to get my bypass surgery date next Thursday!!! It's been a long painful year and I am soooo happy to finally be moving forward!!! :bananajump:

Why don't we try for Sunday, Dec 4, 6 p.m. at Red Robin?

Congrats Julie on your great news!

Dan,

Looking forward to meeting you! By then you'll be on Clear liquids still, or maybe some thin Soups. No worries, Red Robin has always been very accomodating to our special menu requests. They can puree some Soup for you, or you can have iced tea or apple juice. See you soon!

Try not to worry about the surgery, I saw your post and think we all felt the same way. Trust me, it all works out, and your only wish will be that you had done it years ago.

Sorry, I can't make the 3rd or 4th. I am working both nights. I hope everyone has a great time!

She is quite right, they are very accomodating there. They are always willing to puree some soup for us.

Many of us have been there post op - the french onion soup was a very very poplular order! WE just got it without the bread and cheese.

I may be able to attend dont know yet

Hope so!!

The more the merrier! No worries, no need for a firm RSVP. We usually sit on a bench right at the entrance for a few minutes to gather our group together. But do let us know if you decide in advance that you are coming so we get a table with enough seats for any latecomers.

hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been on here. I'll be there on the 4th, but a reminder would be helpful.

I'm going to try to get a fill soon because I've not only been able to eat too much, but I've been on steroids for a few weeks due to an eye issue...both are causing me to gain a few pounds. Nothing drastic, but enough to bum me out. I also have to get my ass to the gym again! I'm a slacker.

Looking forward to seeing you all.

Theresa
