Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum

[adorkbl 156]

Do you think it may just be swelling from the fill/unfill?

Possibly... I PB'd pretty severe on Wednesday night. So I do think I am more irritated than normal. I ate some bread that refused to go down. Wasn't expecting that at all. I haven't had restriction after a fill like that before, and certainly didn't expect it after being told I had a leak.

Dr Monash just called me back and we both agreed to wait on the procedure and just check my level on Tuesday. If I am experiencing any level of restriction, there is no reason to rush a procedure like that.

Guess I will see where I am at on Tuesday and decide where to go from there. :Dancing_sorry:

Can I just say how much I LOVE fills?!! I have already lost a pound! YAY!!! 280!!

adorKable~ I hope that this restriction sticks around for you and that you don't have a leak.

Jamie~ how are you doing today?

Oh, that's so exciting! Fab for you! I'm getting a fill next Wednesday . . .

Dorky one, wouldn't it be wonderful if you don't have a leak after all?

Marie!

I agree! I love fills!

I haven't had many - in fact - Deb was right, I'm also an oddity! I had restriction coming out of the shoot! (hahaha!) And kept my restriction for a long time, then I got a fill and had great restriction! I hadn't had a fill for 6 months! Insane! Anyway, I have really good restriction now AND I do mean really good! I can hardly eat! Yesterday I was lucky to get in 500 calories! My www.fitday.com is shocked! Yesterday, I made my one cup of chili and sat down to eat, after 2 tbsp my nose was running, I was hiccuping AND I had to stop! Sadly, I covered it and put it back in the fridge. It was so good!!! AND I didn't get hungry for over 5 hours!!!

I better lose a lot of weight over this! Because I'm eating like a bird!!! (tweet tweet tweet!):cool:

Dorkable! I hope you don't have a leak and it was just some strange thing! I hope you have restriction now!

Let's all hope for the best!

AND let's hope you don't PB like that again!

Yay for restriction!! Maybe you should say that you're eating like a squirrel!

[PrtyAntOvrYt 6]

Well, I do have a Super Squirrel Cape and I do have Flying Squirrel Arms! (much to my chagrin!)

Okay, yes! I'm eating like a squirrel! A squirrel with a Lap Band!

[PrtyAntOvrYt 6]

Yay for restriction!! Maybe you should say that you're eating like a squirrel!

My goal is huge! I want to get to Twoderville by my one year Bandiversary! I have 11 weeks left! Maybe this fill will get me there!

Oh, that would be so wonderful. You can do it!!! I think this fill will get you kickstarted again!!

[PrtyAntOvrYt 6]

It's insane to even consider it, but who ever said I wasn't a little insane?

Did you?

Nope! I think not!

Jamie~ how are you doing today?

Goodness, I hope my first fill is that pleasant! I'm doing well Marie, but I gotta be honest - I've been swimming around within the same half a pound since Tuesday, and I'm bummed. :cool2: I know this is the time for healing, but dangit, I'm sad.

Shouldn't you say you're eating like a....squirrel???? :cool:

You read my mind!!!

Nope! I think not!

Sanity is for the weak!! :w00t:

I'm doing so good ladies. Saving money, yes I am! I've been clipping grocery coupons for a few weeks now. I just made my Thanksgiving Day menu, and I plan to shop for the best bargain all around! My husband is so happy that I'm trying to save money!

You know, I'm cooking dinner for both families this Thanksgiving. I'll be exactly 3 weeks post-op, and Turkey Day is my first day of solids! :cool: I don't know why I signed up for this job, haha. Thankfully, my wonderful mother will be here to help me through it and make sure I don't leave the gizzards inside the turkey when I put it in the oven...among other things. :cool2:

I know the feeling. It made me kind of depressed before I got my first fill. But don't worry, the wait will be over soon, and you will start losing again! We've all been there.

Hello,

I was not banded by Dr K, but have met a few of you wonderful ladies already. I hope you don't mind me reading your posts? I was wondering if you guys would mind me getting in on this challenge? (if you don't want me too, I understand... but I'm thinking no matter who did our surgery we are all in this together)

Looks like you guys had fun on the 4th. I'm sorry I couldn't make it... my daughter had a bad cold, and we stayed in MI longer than planned. I was so bummed about not being able to make it ;(

[adorkbl 156]

Oh, that's so exciting! Fab for you! I'm getting a fill next Wednesday . . .

Dorky one, wouldn't it be wonderful if you don't have a leak after all?

OMG that would ROCK. Crossing my fingers for that! So far so good. Still seem to have some restriction. Not optimal... but still there.

adorKable~ I hope that this restriction sticks around for you and that you don't have a leak.

Thanks! Me too!

Dorkable! I hope you don't have a leak and it was just some strange thing! I hope you have restriction now!

Let's all hope for the best!

AND let's hope you don't PB like that again!

Thanks thanks. So far so good. And yes that PB was HORRIBLE the other night. Hope that doesn't happen again.

My goal is huge! I want to get to Twoderville by my one year Bandiversary! I have 11 weeks left! Maybe this fill will get me there!

Oh how exciting!! You can do it! Sounds like you have amazing restriction. I am jealous! haha.
