Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum



Recommended Posts

I'm looking online for flight/hotel/car packages, and there are OODLES of hotels in the Denver area. I'm just wondering, for all you out-of-town Dr. K patients, which hotel did you stay at? Do you think it's better to be closer to the airport or closer to Dr. K's office? I anticipate wanting to get out and do some walking the day after my surgery, possibly at a mall. Any help is appreciated!

61 days and counting.... :crying:

Where are you having your surgery? I may not be able to help with a hotel, but as a local girl, I sure can help you out on the mall thing!!!

Oops, I guess that's important! My surgery is at Parker Hospital. Dr. K's people gave me a list of hotels that do medical discounts, but if I book flight/hotel/car all at once in the same package, I'll probably get a bigger discount ya know?

If you feel up to it, and want to walk around. There is Park Meadows it is an inside mall. If the weather is being nice, you could go down to Castle Rock and shop at the outlet mall. Both are nice and fun!!

You could get yourself a little christmas gift...smaller clothes!!!

Okay, I am behind on the challenge list but I'll get it caught up tomorrow. Now that classes are in session again I don't have time to play on my computer all day. Dammit. I really like playing on my computer all day.

Brandy it's so frickin' exciting that you're 10 lbs from plastic surgery consult. I dream of the day, let me tell you. If all goes well, I hope I'll be there by sometime next summer so that I can have it done before the start of fall semester.

Jaime, I stayed at the Holiday Inn Select by the hospital in Parker. It was swell. I tried to get a package, but it actually ended up cheaper booking separately and using the medical discount.

Mini~ I KNOW IT!!!! YAY!!!

Unfortunately, there are alot more procedures that I can't afford. I would love to have the lower body lift, but know I can't afford it. I am hoping that we can get insurance to cover the TT and then hopefully make payments on the girls. I am going to use the PS who repaired my dd cleft, so he knows I am good.

It's so nice that you already have someone that you know is good. I think I'll try a local guy here who does LOTS of wls patients. His work looks really good. I'm sure I'll only be able to do TT and the girls too, but that will be so great. I HATE my tummy flap.

Thanks! Trying to save every penny possible, so I'll check it out both ways. And my husband travels a lot for work, and usually stays at a Hampton or a Holiday Inn, so he can earn points if we stay there! :tt2:

If I don't get something done with the girls I'll be able to tuck them into my underwear soon. I swear.

Brandy, your description of your tummy cracked me up. Mine looks like a big white slab of fish or something. It's just gross. TMI- I have to use the hairdryer and dry the underneath side or I get a disgusting rash. Hopefully that will help convince my insurance to pay to have it removed though.

      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.
