Yes! I agree! It seems too good to be true, BUT it is true! Dr. K and his staff work hard and go out of their way to make our surgeries possible. I believe that he really cares about people who suffer with obesity. No catch! Honest! Believe me, I am proof! My BMI was over 60 when I got banded -- I am healthier and happier! I have had great things happen since being banded. Previously, I was pre-diabetic and I do not have any problems with my sugars anymore! I am so pleased! Come back and ask anything! All of Dr. K's banders are the best! He only bands the BEST!

Hi Sandy! You're going to love Dr. K! That's what we all call him. His office is very busy, but his staff is wonderful! Dr. K truly cares about each of his patients. His office is in Aurora in the medical professional building attached to The Medical Center of Aurora. I work at the Parker Adventist Hospital that is attached the Surgicenter he uses. They are really nice there too! Let me know if you have any further questions. The Surgicenter is brand new and in a beautiful new building. Congrats on taking the first steps toward your new life! dee~

Welcome Bratty Nicole! I'm so glad you found me! You found US! it was so good to see you on the other thread! I tried to reply to your post, but I kept having trouble! I wonder if it was because it was too big! Thanks for joining me here, I hope the rest of the folk venture over! Have a Happy 4th Weekend!

Congrats Girlie on that 2lbs! You're down 10.5lbs! More than half way to your goal! I think you will have no problem making it to goal! I'm sorry about your Dad's letter making you sad. I hope the Adult Beverages helped a little! I also wanted to tell you about the move PS I Love You. I ordered it on Netflix, but I heard from a friend it was quite the Tearjerker. It's hard to lose our parents! I love your tatoo idea! It's so thoughtful! You can come with me and Mal! We're going to have to have a designated driver, because I think I'll need some Adult Beverages of my own! I can't wait! Hugs Denise! luv, dee~

Listen Sister Anita! I know how you're feeling! I saw my OB/GYN the other day and I begged her to help me with my PMs! Actually this last month, I did okay til I came back from Vegas but that was more a situational issue! It's horrible to feel so depressed --that's what PMS does to me! From now on, Sister, even if you're feeling crouchy! I do not want you to think you should not come here! We missed you! I missed you!!! AND if you need to vent to us, we are here for you! Okay? Love you Sister, dee~

It's week 6, we were week 5 last week. Have a great weekend away! Isn't it great to be able to say that you've lost 45 lbs? I am loving my band! I even lost weight while I was in Las Vegas! Can you imagine that?

I started a new Dr. Kirshenbaum thread. We can try it and see if we are able to post there without the problems we're having now. It's called - Dr. Kirshenbaum's Happy Bandsters~ I know it's corny, but I couldn't think of another title! I hope everyone joins me there!

Shelbi, YOU and I are having the same problems!!! I've been pulling my hair out!!! :thumbup:

the same thing happened to me the other day! I was there around lunch time and I was hungry! I ate the samples by the time I left, I had had steak kabobs, cheese, yogurt, grilled chicken, cherries, a cracker with spinach dip and a small piece of cake! I was done til dinner! What a great way to have a free lunch! AND they said, "there are no free lunches!" they must not have been a bander at CostCo!

Deb! Your parents are the sweetest! You're so lucky! Even if you won't allow them to pay for the surgery, you will have their support! AND that is worth millions! Many of us, don't have the support of our parents. I'd just give them a BIG hug, if they were my folks! dee~

Thanks Shelbi! I'm going to go there. My daughter gave me an I-Pod for Mother's day! I'm getting kind of tired of my same old same old! My goal is to walk in the Susan G Koman - walk for a cure for Breast Cancer - this October! I've always wanted to do!!!

Hey Good Morning Sweet Mini-Lou! The newest Bandito! What time does your flight leave? I miss you already!! Don't go!!! Move here! Live with me! Be my forever Pal!!!

I had a really really long post to respond to EVERYONE and I had to get up and answer the phone, when I came back the site had returned me to the HomePage! WHAT on earth? It's been acting up a lot lately! Is anyone else having problems with it? So pardon me, but I'm going to go back and address each person individually! I'm bummed! Really Really bummed!:thumbup: I'll be back later, don't go away! After these messages..... dee~

Did he call you yet Deb?

Gotcha Sister Lap Dancer! Wow! I'm impressed 3lbs 2 weeks in a row! You must be doing something right!!

So I went down to see Ms Mini before they took her to the OR. She's looking Hot in her blue cap and booties! She's doing great! I just wanted to let everyone know our girl, Mini is on her way to the Loser's Bench right now!:thumbup:

Excellent! I'm not sure what I want, I know where I want it, however! BUT that's my private life!

Mal! You're one of those peoplee who just make the world a better place. I love being around you. You're real and just such a sweetie! I'm always thrilled when you're at our gatherings. Brandy! I love little Hannah. Tell her she is the best waitress and if she could work on getting those Doritos on the menu, I'd appreciate it!!! And I can still see my Tatoo! I still love it! No Tatoo-regrets here! Mal! Could you go with me, when I reach goal and get my real one? Mini! My Dear! I can't wait til you're on the Loser's Bench with us! You're going to rock that Band! I felt like I'd known you forever! You're so cute! AND thanks for conspiring with the waiter! You really didn't have to!! Hugs Peeps! stephie~

Fatwidow, I am so sorry to hear about your daughter's friend. That's horrible!! My daughter's friend was found dead in his dorm room last year, he had taken an overdose accidently! It has changed all of the kids. It's very very sad! I hope you do okay at the funeral home tomorrow. I know it will be difficult for you. Just know you are there for the Mom and the family of the young boy. They will need your support and love. I'm sending you a Big Hug. dee~

We all met at Borders! Mal, Brandy, Brandy's Sweetie, Mal's Sweetpie, Mini and Moi! Mini is a doll! She's just as cute in person as she is here on LBT! I got some great pics, I'll get them posted asap! My daughter has to do that for me! We had a great time!!! Yummy food!!! Right Mal? AND you'll be happy to hear that Mini stuck to the pre-op!!! We were very proud of her! Since Dr. K said, "Absolutely not! She couldn't enjoy her last meal by eating anything she wanted!" All of you were there with us, in our hearts! Move over Shelbi, Mini is coming! AND please continue on your best behavior! She might be a little sore for awhile! No poking her in the side! Sliding on down -- making room for our Newest Bandito! Hugs, dee~
