Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum



Recommended Posts

Well I had my third fill today. I had to beg the doctor to give me 1cc. He said I am losing steady and I should wait awhile, but I know my body, I was able to eat way to much. I was also hungry all the time. I know I have to work at this but I do have this tool and I want it to help me as much as possible. I still don't feel any restriction. I have 5.5 cc's in my band now. One really good bit of info I received today......they are only charging me for office visits instead of fills and I only have to pay $54.00 per visit:thumbup::girl_hug::thumbup:. Isn't that awesome. I also really like this surgeon. He is always perfect with the fill. Never had to poke me twice and he doesn't have an attitude when I ask him for my fill even though he doesn't think I need one.

I found this awesome Italian store near the hospital. I loved it:w00t: I even found 100 calorie packs of Italian cookies!!!!:thumbup:

So these are the gowns I found-the black one is the consignment shop one, and I will be taking the ugly rhinestone brooch off. I think once the brooch is off it will be simple and elegant.

The grey one is the bargain one from Sears. I think the top is kind of wierd. I don't know.

Opinions please!

We are voting for a dress that you'll wear to that Ball in NC right? We're not voting on a Bridesmaid's dress this time around? I seem to recall you having to buy 2 dresses, but I'm pretty sure you already picked the black Bridesmaid's dress. I think? Gosh you ladies talk so much on this board it's hard to keep up!! :blink:

So I gotta say, I actually kinda like the tacky little rhinestone brooch! :lol: I mean, maybe it looks different when you're wearing the dress, but honestly I like the whole package! I'm really not a fan of the grey color of the other dress. The dress is fabulous, but the color is sorta :confused:

My vote for the Ball is the black dress with the brooch, because I actually think it looks good!!! :smile:

But seriously, you could wear either of those dresses and totally rock the Ball. You'd be the hottest chick there even if you were wearing overalls and a dirty white tanktop :)

Yes, the whole dress thing has been confusing and hard to keep up with!! The black one is actually the bridesmaid dress, but I could wear it to the ball also!! And yes, I feel the same way about the grey color. It is kind of blah.

Although, now my mom wants to go to NC and go to the ball with us, which kind of rains on my parade since I am not so happy with her as of late for how she was treating my sister about reenlisting. I really don't want to spend my vacation with her.:lol: Terrible of me I know, but what can I say?

OH! Well then save some money and wear the black dress to the Ball and the wedding! I think it's a beauitful dress. I'm sorry your mom invited herself. :smile:

But I still want to see the $200 dress that made you feel like a princess.

And if you let your mom make you have less fun on your trip then you are letting her more power over your life than you have and that's not okay.

It took me 25 years as a grown up to figure that one out about my own mom, and I am much happier now that I did.

It's not even that I want to let her make me have less fun on my trip, it's that I don't even want her to go at all. That is why I am apparently an awful daughter. I just wanted to spend some time with my sister alone before she leaves without all the BS my mom brings along. I absolutely hate traveling with her and said I would never do it again after the last time, and she even wants to fly there with me. :confused:

You are NOT a bad daughter. She behaved deplorably towards your sister. I'm sorry. This kinda sucks.

Oh, and Mini, the princess dress....

It is on the Davids Bridal website, and it won't let me download a picture. It is in the bridesmaid separates. It is the tissue taffeta in marine blue, and it is the sleeveless ruched top and the full skirt with the pickups/bustle on the bottom. I look smokin hot in it!:confused:

I don't understand why my sister invited her....she said she invites her every year and she never comes and won't come this year....I was like "Surprise! She is planning on coming this year apparently!"

Okay, I LOVE the dress from David's. You need to get it. You need to put on your party face and your smokin' hot dress and go the ball and knock somebody's socks off.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
