Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum

[lotzasunshine 2]

So this is kinda gross, but i am wondering if my nail biting has something to do with me being perpetually stuck right now. Anyone heard of this happening? It just feels like there is always something there, and it would explain why I hurt without having eaten anything. Maybe they just built up above my band, and that may be why solids are not working so well. Any insight?

I am debating whether or not to make myself throw up to see if that is it. I HATE throwing up though and have only thrown up a couple times since being banded.

Hi Bella,

I am down 2 pounds as of Monday the 13th. I had been kinda stuck for a couple of weeks, so this challenge has got me motivated again.

So, I actually did end up throwing up last night, and idk what the problem was but tonight I am feeling better and have been able to eat mushie food with no problems, so tomorrow I will try solids and see how it goes.

Hello folks! Been a LONG while...thought I'd just update and let you know I haven't died or fallen off the planet...yet! :-D

I'm just hovering at 210 and although I really think this is fantastic, I'd sure like to get under 200...it's been almost 2 years, you think I could control myself! Geez! I'm going to get another fill in May and hopefully that'll cinch me up good and I'll lose that last 10 this summer...of course we had a BAD winter and it may be late June before all the snow melts here, but I went out walking today (and that sure isn't a regular activity for me!)

Take care!

Welcome Heather. Isn't Dr. K wonderful. Are you from that area or did you travel? I am glad you are feeling good. Best of luck on this journey. We are always here for you.

Welcome! How's the weather out in your area? I saw where some areas west of Denver have 34 inches of snow already!

I'm glad to hear you made it home safely! Again, welcome to the loser's bench!

Grand Junction is just cold no snow yet but I m sure its coming. I was glad we left so early because they closed one of the passes. Glad to be in my own bed.

Heather,

Welcome! Isn't Dr. K the greatest? I've never met a doc quite like him. I think the reason we all have such an easy time with the surgery is because of his great skill. Can't wait to hear aboout your weight loss!
