Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum

dee!!!! I need advice!!! I just took my 2hr pp BG and it was 195!! Do you think that having the band delays the peak BG? Do you think this would be the equivalent of what you would see one hour without the band? Hope that question made sense. I'm less than happy about these numbers I'm getting today. :bolt::frown::tt1:

Oh Mini!

That makes perfect sense! I am so sorry, I didn't get online sooner and see this message. Check it at 3 hours and see what you're getting.

HOT TUB?

Did anybody ask Dr. K how long you have to wait after surgery before going in a hot tub or pool? I have had the week from you-know-where, and really would like to go in my hot tub.

Today, went to car dealership for a new headlight bulb and an oil change.....$900 later... you know how that goes

Adork, Love your photos with your hubby. He's adorable and you two look great together.

Mini, I"m in a snit and refusing to get on the scale. Let me check in with you after I get my first fill next week.

Munch, it sounds like your mom is freaking out. Does she have a therapist or anybody she can talk to about her anxiety with having a child in the military? As a mom, I can only imagine....

Tally, look at your ticker! you Have made so much progress already!

Prty, thanks for the compliment on the lipstick. Have you read the book "How not to look old"? My girlfriend literally dragged me in to barnes and Noble and forced me to buy it. Great tips on not getting your look outdated.

Well that's it girls, glad it is the weekend. I was so freaked out at the dealership that I left my briefcase there, so have to go back first thing in the morning...grrrr. So, any advice on that hottub would be great. My surgery scars look very sealed to me.

I didn't ask about a Hot Tub, but I asked about swimming and he said, 3 to 4 weeks. His reasoning was making sure the wounds have healed over.

Hot tubs are bacteria ponds. YUCKY. Stay out for sure for AT LEAST 4 weeks. Dr K told me one month for swimming and said hot tubs were a big no no.

Hey, guys! Lots of activity in two days!!

Adork: great pix! How old are you....12???? U don't look old enough to be married...sheesh....

Mal, I will pm my address to you.

Took folks to casino yesterday. Not a financially solvent move, but good bonding with the family.

I was sooooo tired from trip to Denver on Tues. that I slept most of Wed. and then got busy on stuff on Thurs. I got up at 3am to get folks to casino by 5:30, but had a sore throat. On plane ride home, people were hacking and snorting everywhere! I am sure that and the tiredness I was (am ) feeling contributed to getting a cold. Oh, well, first time sick this year. Took a 3 hour nap today am so worn.

Weight challenge: glad to say since first fill I am down 3 pounds!

Tucker is doing AMAZINGLY well now. Eating without coaxing and eating lots! Coat is back to a beautiful brown shine and he is even rollin' on his back and kickin' out his legs! We are on the upswing here!

Somebody told me that you all are still talking about me and I just had to see for myself! Are you freakin kidding me? That I work for Dr. Snyder?!! Wow! I really can't believe that you chicks are STILL jumping all over me about my "concerns" about Dr. K... that were written forever ago! Move on with your life! Everyone has an opinion and you know? I didn't say anything to "offend" you personally or offend Dr. K... It's wonderful that you are all doing great and that you obviously love your doc as much as I love mine... so what? Grow up girls! I wish you all the best of luck and I hope that you can put your energies into focusing on your weight loss success instead of letting me be the focus of your attention!

That chick Colorado Crazy was just in another post extolling the virtues of her surgeon and how wonderful he is. I pointed out to her that for all she rips on Dr.K, her surgeons program sounds exactly like his!! Hmmmm.....

And she also said that you can reach her surgeon ANYTIME via cell phone. Being a nurse, that one just made me laugh my arse off!! Good luck with that one honey!!!

(Ok, so I am being a little bitchy but come on, she had it coming...)

yeah, so my doc did give me his cell phone number... we actually had to call him the night of my surgery, b/c I was vomitting and he called something in to the pharmacy.... you think that is so funny and laughed your "arse" off...if you don't believe me... I'll give it to you and You can call him to see for yourself! Yeah... and you are a tad bit "bitchy"

Colorado-

I think we have made it pretty clear that we don't care about your opinion...and obviously what you said did "offend" us or we would not be so antagonistic to you. Actually, it is probably the fact that until now, you have never replied to any of our posts or come back to defend yourself that has made us suspicious.

And FYI, any surgeon that knows his ass from a hole in the ground would have prescribed you something for nausea before you even left the hospital...DUH. That is a normal standard of care for a post op patient. Post op patients are usually nauseous from the anesthesia! So don't act like is was some huge deal that your surgeon was nice enough to call in something for you for nausea the night of your surgery because if he had covered his bases to begin with you wouldn't have even needed to call him.

And I talk to doctors all night while I am working in the ICU...I really don't need to call yours to "verify" that he can be reached 24/7. Why you think I would even care enough to do that is beyond me.

Best of luck to you.... Oh, and yes, I am not even a little bitchy this week- I am A LOT bitchy. Hasn't anyone ever told you that ICU nurses are a bunch of bitchy divas sweetie??

[jmegirl 2]

I Munchkin!!

That is all!

[munchkin392 1]

I Munchkin!!

:cool2:

That is all!

The feeling is mutual......

At least if she is going to retort to my post, use capitalizaton and punctuation...I can't stand when people write like they are illiterate...

Oh, and did I mention that I am bitchy today?

[jmegirl 2]

Oh, and did I mention that I am bitchy today?

I'm shocked

[PrtyAntOvrYt 6]

I'm shocked

Munchi in a bitchy mood? I'll drink to that!

I love you too Munchi!

:tongue_smilie:ICU NICU L&D PP -- aren't we all a little moody at times?

Did your ticker move?

AND where is your pretty Avatar?

I wouldn't call being a "bitchy diva" a good thing... that should show you what kind of character you really are... I feel sorry for you... I'm not sure why I want to even justify myself, but my doc did in fact prescribe anti-nausea meds even before surgery... I had them, but it wasn't enough, so I had to call him... maybe you should get your WHOLE story straight instead of forming nasty little thoughts before you know what you thinking... And as far as never replying to your previous posts... why would I? What is the point? Even when I tried to "defend" myself with telling you to try calling him, you yourself said "why would you care enough to do it". So why would I care enough to waste my time on you... this is the last time I will be wasting on you... you are a poison... All you are is completely negative! Isn't there enough crap in the world? What is the point now? You are so narrow minded and rude that you have formed your own nasty opinions that are totally and utterly stupid. I have received emails from other users on this site that think you are a complete and utterly horrible person... they can't figure out why you are so "snobby" and that you are "vultures"... that should tell you a little something "sweetie". Like I said before, Grow up. Or maybe you are still in middle school...? Something bad must have happend to you and like I said. I feel very sorry for you and I hope that your life becomes a little bit more happier b/c obviously you have had problems to make you so negative towards complete strangers! wow...good luck with your life! :teeth_smile:
