Mal

Goodmorning our little beach bunny! Happy to hear that you have good restriction! What kind of dog do you have. I love dogs, mine is truly my best buddy! I have a basset hound, his name is Buddy. No special treats for him though, he is on a diet, he has 15 pounds to lose. I have been feeling quit hungry the last couple of days. My fill can't come soon enough. I bought more Isopure yesterday to help me feel fuller between my meals, hope that works. July 11th? That is actually my anniversay day, 20 years with my wonderful hubby! Enjoy your Sunday, enjoy your beautiful view of the beach (jealous), and enjoy your dog!

Hi Gals! LapDancer~LOVE the pics! and yes, I was shocked to hear that you had grown children, I was expecting to hear toddler/preschool agers. Good for you. I can't wait until our next "meeting". I hope your fill is working good for you...remember, chew, chew and chew some more. I think I am going to have a problem with chewing. Dynamonin~glad to hear that you are restricted but not too much, sounds like you are doing great. Keep it up. I can't wait for my first fill.... Sunnysea~we really did miss you, you were there in spirit for sure! I had tears in my eyes when the waitress asked if we knew a Sunnysea...I was like no way! She's here! Then she said that you were on the phone...so VERY thoughtful of you! I hope all is going well with your new fill Dr. Drews~we missed you too! How's the knee? I hope you are taking it easy! Hope everyone had a nice Saturday and a blessed Sunday! Woofay~you are beautiful inside and out! I thought your make up looked flawless (jealous), so what products do you use? I have such a hard time finding something that looks so natural and smooth.

Hi Gals, I haven't posted here in a while, I hope all is going going strong. Conniesueb~I would love to meet up this weekend, but I will be out of town. I think it is a great idea to get together. We just had a little get together with a few gals from this site (Dr. Kirshenbaums gals) and it was amazing. The support we all get here...well, there are no words! Maybe I can catch you all at the next one. Have a successful weekend!

Welcome mymacksy! You will LOVE Dr. K's staff and Dr. K...they are wonderful, very caring. You are in good hands! Congrats on having your insurance cover it, that is wonderful!

Thanks again LapDancer for picking up the rest of the tab, it was great meeting you and your family! Have a safe trip home. Glad to hear your fill went smooth! Take Care

Dyno and LapDancer, Let us know how your fills went. I am nervous about my first fill...July 2nd! And Anita how is your second fill? Just out of no where I was feeling neausous yesterday??? Probably all the stress and lack of sleep all week. The weekend is here (mine always starts on Friday...LOL)!!! Hope everyone has a successful weekend! Eat right, drink right, excercise (what's that?)....Best of all ENJOY!!! Marcyinak, While you are out here in CO, let meknow if you need anything. I am very close to the Hospital in Parker.

Yes, Dr. Kirshenbaum has a support group meeting. I have never been, but they are the second Tuesday of every month at 6:30. They are held in his office. His daughter does them. I don't know alot about them either, maybe someone else could help??? I am thinking about going...

Congrats on your band! You are now on the other side, hope all went well and you are on the mend!

Yeah! You did it! There we are! What a nice time that was. Wow, it has been a long time since I have seen my picture....not diggin' it....LOL Looking foward to our next meeting...

I tried to put the pictures here from last night and I just don't know what I'm doing. Last night was great, I am so happy that some of us had a chance to meet. Drews, I hope everything is okay, you were missed! Anyone going to the group on Tuesday night? I might go since I have never been??? Have a GREAT DAY!!! My left overs didn't stand a chance, I was hungry when I got home and ate most of it!!!

Dynamomini, Thanks for putting this together tonight. It was wonderful meeting you, Anita and Patty! I can't wait until the next meeting! You gals are the best! Patty, thanks for treating! Let us know how the fill works for you. Goodnight Ladies! SUNNYSEA...how nice of you to send a drink! What a nice suprise, we thought maybe you were there when the waitress came to the table and asked if we knew a Sunnysea...

CONGRATS Anita, I can't wait for that feeling. All the hard work is paying off for you, you deserve it! 31 pounds is WONDERFUL!!! Keep on truckin'

See ya' at 7!

Anita, Have a safe trip into town today. Wow, you are going in for your second fill. I am excited and really nervous about my first. I haven't had any problems with eating anything and of course my appetite is growing and growing! The feeling of being restricted is going to be so weird for me. I have to wait until July 2nd. Have a great day!

Anita, You are amazing, I can't wait to meet you! I am going to give you the biggest hug! I love your positive attitude, and that is just what I needed today. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I am soooo ready to win the jackpot!!

HiMarcyinak, Welcome! Your consult with Dr. K will go fine tomorrow, I'll be thinking about you. He is really easy to talk to. He will put your mind at ease and answer any questions you have. Too bad you won't be here on Wednesday for our little "meet and greet", but I am glad that you found us here. We will be here for you during your journey...these ladies and gents are...well it's hard to find the words, they have helped me through some tough moments...a blessing. Keep us posted!

I know what you mean, I too have used up quite a bit of the money on my gut, my mouth and next the Vegas trip...how interesting that I have been a step behind you! The way my luck has been, I doubt that I will hit the jackpot, but I sure have been dreaming about it!! How did the construction go on the pergola and arbor? What nice peaceful gift for yourself, enjoy it's beauty! See ya' Wednesday!

Thanks Anita! He didn't have to do anything!!! He looked at it, poked at it, then took me in the other room and did the utlra-sound thing and showed me that everything looked good. I just stood ther and clapped and said YIIPEEEE!! Yes, Vegas in two weeks...hubby and I are celebrating our 20th, we are meeting a bunch of people there, it should be a good time. We are having a "Monte Carlo Night" party tomorrow, just an excuse to "practice" for Vegas....muahhahaha! I am in the best mood today!!! I hope everyone has a super weekend!! You gals are the BEST...you know it!!!

Dynamomini~no fill yet, July 2nd. I am going to Vegas this month, I hope I don't eat too much...well there wil be alot of walking too. I am sooo happy, what a relief! WHEW!! The release of stress! My tears are of JOY!!!!! Have a SUPER FANTABULOUS weekend!!! I am going to dance my bottom off!!!

YIIPPPEEEE!!! I just returned from Dr. K's and everything is good! I am soooo happy. He apologized for what he thought was a wasted trip, but I thanked him for being so watchful and careful...he is so wonderful!!!! I am soooo happy...I already said that! I got my fill date for July 2nd. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers...you gals are the BEST!!! I hope everyone else is doing great too!

Sunnysea~I don't blame you for finding a closer Dr. for fills, that was a scary trip! I am glad that everything worked out and that you are doing well. Thank you for the well wishes, I will post tomorrow (if I'm not balling too much...either way the news goes...relief or sadness). Anita~I know what you mean! I should be calling to make my appointment for a bridge or whatever he will put where that HUGE tooth was extracted! Just more $$$$ I think I'll put it off for just a little while longer...and the scale thing...mine went missing! I can't find it. I think when I was cleaning for the Graduation party I must have hiden it somewhere and now I can't find it. Could be a good thing...LOL I think I lost some brain cells along with my pounds! Happy Thursday to ALL!!!

Cindilou, I just read....how are you doing? Hang in there, I am praying for you! I was banded May 18th and I feel great, however, my Dr. found liquid forming around my port and he said that worse case scenario, the port is infected and the whole thing might have to come out!!! I know how you are feeling...I am a self payer too. We will make it through this. Keep us posted on how you are doing. I go back on Friday.

Thanks Drews! I am happy to hear that you are up about! A calendar... did you feel like a model? That is soo coooool!! Hey if you are selling them, I'd love to get one!

8675309, Why did your Dr. say that? I was a self pay, so I am not sure if you need your GP's approval, I'm guessing it would depend on your insurance if you are going that route. Self payers do not need the approval and the process is fairly quick. Dr. K and his staff are amazing. I wish you well on your journey!!
