Hi There~

I am happy that I found this site. I have been researching the lap band for over a year now and am hoping to have my financing withing the next week or so. I am 99% sure that I am going to go with Dr. Kirshenbaum here in Colorado. I am anxious about the change, but more than ready! Like everyone, I have already paid for the band with all the different diets that I have tried. I am ready for some permanent success!

I am a SAHM to 4 kids (3 boys and a girl) and I know tha I am the "fat mom" and am tired of embarrasing my kids. My goal will be 140.

I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello!

Hi Brandy, Nice to meet you. I am going to Dr Kirshenbaum for my banding on October 16th. There is a thread that is going with Dr K's patients and there are several people that live in the Denver area and get together once a month for lunch.. You are invited to come on over to the thread and meet a nice group of people. It is under the "Doctors and Hospitals" heading and it starts out "Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum". The thread is over 100 pages long and very friendly... Good luck to you and hope to see you at the thread..

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
