Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum

Hi Rannah. I used to live in Grand Junction. My family owned the McDonald's that used to be on North Ave across from Wienerschnitzel. Hey, we owned a McDonald's...I'm beginning to sense a connection as to why I needed the band. Hmmm lol

Put me down for - 1.8. I was out of town for a week eating out every meal and stuck in airports for the past 2 days. I think all in all I am very happy with my little loss, better than a gain.

I do feel better about the idea of maintance since I was able to lose this week. I am at my lowest of 194.7 I hope to see the 180's in the next 1-2 weeks.

I am +0.8lbs today, but TOM showed up this weekend so I'm hoping that's the reason. I'm really starting to hate my decision to have the band. Really really really. :blink:

In other news, I know that Munchkin has been AWOL from this thread for quite some time. But, she's flying into town today and staying with me until Thursday. We're going to the Dave Matthews concert on Weds night! I can't wait to meet her finally!!! Perhaps she'll take walks with me this week and get me moving out in the beautiful NC weather!

I am down -2.4 this week. Woohoo!!! Maybe my 6 week long plateau has finally ended! I've lost two weeks in a row.

Jaime, I was just wondering the other night if Munchkin was still coming out to see you. How fun! Give her hugs and kisses from the gang. And you two stay out of trouble . . . yeah, right ;-)

Jamie, Are you keeping track of what you eat on an on-line journal. Is there a way we can see what you are eating and maybe help out?

How is the working out going?

I went to Disneyland and ate like a normal person. +1 for me, but I get my first fill tomorrow. I think the only reason I didn't gain more is because of all the walking I did.

Hi everyone, I am getting banded on Wed. by Dr. K. I am nervous but excited. It sounds like everyone has had great results and that he is a great surgeon.

Hey Peeps!

Dr. K is going to China for three weeks starting the middle of May. They will only be doing fills on Thursdays with Tom. If you think you might need a fill around that time, you better call and make an appt. I think those Thurs. are going to get pretty busy!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
