Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum
Snowgator replied to Shesha's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Julie, Congrats, that is great news about your insurance finally coming through. You must be excited. I'm sorry about the co-pay, though. However, as I have often said about paying 10k for my band - it was about the same as buying a cheap car, but the best investment ever. I"m still up for any of those dates - let's see if any of our buds respond here, otherwise we can bug them on facebook! Have a great day. p.s. I got to goal last week! -

Come on, peeps...SOMEBODY has to want to get together at RR!!! It's not like Dr. K ever attended, this is OUR group! Are any of those above dates good? Anyway, got the financial information for those of you interested in getting your fills from Dr. Georgescu: initial consult/evaluation fee $75 fills $50 9351 Grant Street, Suite 400 (this is just north of North Suburban Medical Center, I-25 and Thornton Pkwy) Thornton, CO 80229 303-452-0059 He does the fills himself. Dee, I have seen him do fills numerous times, and I would say they are patient driven. He asks how they are feeling, if they are in the red/yellow/green zone, hungry between meals, etc., then fills and has them drink water, just like Dr. K did, then adds or subtracts as needed. He does not to barium/fluoro unless there is a problem, and then those are done at the hospital. Any other questions, just let me know. -

A tip for those of you who may live in central Denver or toward the north side of town, Dr. Georgescu, a bariatric surgeon at North Suburban Medical Center will welcome any of Dr. K's patients who want to transfer care to him. His address is 9351 Grant Street, Suite 400, Thornton, and office phone is 303-452-0059. -

Sorry, now I won't be able to make RR on the 11th. My daughter is moving to Seattle for grad school, and has asked me to come out that weekend to help her get settled. Have fun everybody & take a photo. -

Absolutely! Will do that right away. If it is a surprise, do you want cards, etc sent to your attention? Also, I like Prty's suggestion about a reception and would be willing to help also. -

\Hi guys! Yes, I was thinking 9/11, just seemed like a day that was open in my book anyhow. Sorry about your recent surgery, but this should be great for helping you get around and be comfortable again. Anybody else open that date next month, or is it too soon to tell? -

Hi Everybody! I couldn't find the "Considering Dr. K thread" on here...it is because we all have been so delinquent in posting! So everybody come on, post and give us all an update on how you are doing!!! I am almost 3 years out now, and have 5 annoying lbs to go. Couldn't be happier with having the band. My birthday is Sunday, and I am walking my first 10k, so wish me luck. Red Robin night anybody??? Planning ahead, next month is insane. How about Sunday 9/11 at 7pm? -

Snowgator replied to Shesha's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
You are so welcome!! I love the good karma of sharing clothes with my lap band buddies. And if anybody has size 12's, please send my way..I have almost nothing that fits for the summer. One more request...if any of you are thrift store shoppers, I'm looking for a GIANT wood fork and spoon kitchen wall decoration, like on the tv show "everybody loves raymond" in his mother's kitchen. -

Oh bummer..I looked at the insert image choices, seems you need a URL, so that makes no sense to me. Maybe one of the younger hipper LPT members will know? ha! Not sure about the dialing, sorry, have phone in my scrub pants pocked today. -

I know this isn't our usual schedule, but would Red Robin Sunday May 1st at 7:00pm work for any of you? (my new schedule at work is M-Th and I don't get off until 8:30p) Thanks! -

Hi Everybody, Been a while since I"ve been on here. Just wanted to say hello to all, and that I"m happy to see everyone is doing so well. Would love to get together with you all again! -
Hey all, Life is good..who could have thought things would be so different in just a couple years. Still have those nagging last 10lbs to go. Am joining WW this weekend to try and get a little extra motivation. So much more active now than before.

Single girls, At what size do you feel most comfortable dating? I understand that many of you don't relate size and dating, but for those of you who do, at what dress size do you feel most comfortable going on a date? I'd do a poll, but I don't know how. If somebody does, please feel free to go ahead. Thanks! 8,10,12,14,16,18
