Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum

[MissCheryl 0]

Hello everyone!

Well, I'm packing today for my trip to Denver tomorrow for surgery on Tuesday the 3rd. I'm excited and nervous. I am SO glad I found Dr. K, what a sweetheart! I had a question about a time release medication I'm taking so I called the office. He called me back HIMSELF! I can't get my local Dr. to call me back at all, even the staff takes a few days to return a call. I know he's the guy for me. Thanks to you all for your support and great info. Think good thoughts for me, I'll check-in soon.

Well, I lost that 7 pounds of Water due to steroid injection and then some. Maybe these wateraerobic classes will be my jumpstart.

Put me down for -3.4 this week.:wink:

Mini: where in Mex. were you and did you have a good time?

Good job!!! Is your back feeling better?

We were in Playa del Carmen, which is about 45 miles south of Cancun. It was great. Warm, sunshine, turquoise blue water. It was wonderful.

Back is so-so. I will probably have to get another injection in about a month if I really want to get it going in right direction. Thought I would wait and see what a series of aerobic classes might do to loosen it up.

I have never been on that side of Mexico. sunshine and beautiful water...ahhhh....We leave for Palm Springs in ten days and I am soooo looking forward to it. It was 28 degrees yesterday morning here. Brrr.....

Hi Everybody,

I've been lurking, but haven't posted in a while. I lost my job, so have been doing PRN nursing work at 2 places. Also spent a few nights in the hospital with Norovirus..yuck. On the positive side of things, weight is coming off with the nursing work, and I am exercising more. Still have good restriction from my fill.

Are we having a March RR night? Miss seeing my peeps!

Hello my friends:

Bad week. Bad food. Bad choices UP 4.5 pounds.

put me down for +4.5

Haven't the heart to lay it all in your laps. I'm putting my arm around my own shoulder, hugging myself, I understand exactly what I'm talking about because I've been there. Being my own best friend right now...and mom and sister and grandmother.

Onward.

Patty, head and heart up....this week will be better.

[KayleighsMommy 16]

I'm down .4 for the week. <sigh> Its funny.... at the beginning I was using partial pounds in my equation of weight loss, then I just went to full pounds. Now I am back to using percentages of pounds again, Guess that's what happens when your loss slows down significantly, huh? :thumbup: Oh well..... point 4 loss is better that a gain any day :wink:

I am down 0 this week. which is definitely better than last week. It's the stress of my dad's cancer being worse and skipping my fill and eating bad foods because I'm emotional. I'm just glad that I have this band because with all this crap going on i would probably have gained a lot by now.

Well, you just need to take care of yourself right now. If you want ice cream, eat it. If you want mashed potatoes, eat them. There are more important things to worry about right now.

Here's a rather ironic thing - while we were in Mexico, my dad was also diagnosed with malignant melanoma. We don't know yet how bad it is . . . he'll see the oncologist a week from tomorrow. Sometimes life is just not fair.

Well, I went today for my plastic surgery consult. I know it's a bit early, but I decided to go and see what he had to say.

He thinks that my tummy will turn out great, although he'll have to do a pretty long scar to get rid of my whole pannus cuz it's really wide (hope that made sense). So it will basically be to the very edges of my hips on either side.

I'm really conflicted about the breast lift. He says that he can just do a lift without augmentation, but that at my age the upper part of my breast will just remain flat, even though the bottom will be fuller and up where it belongs. He said the only way around that is with a small implant under the muscle. I am really torn. I mean, at my age should I be getting breast implants? Wouldn't that be kind of silly? On the other hand, if I'm going to have surgery, maybe I should go ahead and have good looking boobs too. I don't know.

Either way, it was kind of exciting and fun.
