Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum
DrewsLou replied to Shesha's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Mal... the bout was great! We had about 2,000 people there! The Bad Apples won by a pretty large margin. The Green Barrettes have lost some pretty important players to out of state moves and injuries and it really showed on Friday. I got some surprising news at practice last night... I am invited to test up on Thursday night! This means I will be tested to be placed on a team! Next month this time I will be finding out if I need to start loving camo or red...:clap2: For Halloween me, Kylie of Backlash and Truth Adere are going as the Furies. The Furies are the Roman goddesses of vengence. Should be great fun! Hope to see some of you there! -

Yup, I know Kelli! She started derby the same time I did. I live outside of Brighton near the skating rink. Giving up pop was hard, but now that I am a year and a half out from surgery I allow myself a soda every now and then! Good luck with your consult today! I don't think it's rude at all to call ahead and see if they are running on time... I would do it! -
Dr Christopher Evanson from Indiana (so disappointed)
DrewsLou replied to Angie68's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Wow. That really suprises me! Most docs (from what I have heard) will only band someone who's BMI is AT LEAST 35 with comorbidities or 40 without. That is my doc's policy as far as I know! Is this doctor your only option? -

What's your restriction pattern?
DrewsLou replied to Wheetsin's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Only thing consistant is that I can't eat first thing in the morning. Other than that it's totally random.. some foods are okay one day and not the next... total crap shoot! :tired -

DrewsLou replied to DrewsLou's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Yes, the repair required surgery. I chose to be put totally asleep like with the initial surgery but I know a girl who just had her tubing and port replaced that did it with a local. The surgery for me was much easier than the banding. My doc went in through the same port incision and there was no gas involved. I took a couple of days off to recover (mostly from the anesthesia) and was back in action within a few days! -

Hi all! Chiming in on the Red Robin date for next month. Oct 10the or 11th won't work for me. Wednesdays and Thursdays I have practice and can't miss it. Maybe I can catch up with you girls in November! I'm looking forward to have 3 months off from derby here soon! -

My belly was swollen pretty consistantly for about 2-3 weeks then would swell at the end of the day for another month or so. Drink lots of water and do lots of walking... it helps! -
