Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum

That whould be great... and soooo appreciated. I went to Catherines today and hit the Clearance rack. Got a pair of jeans for a decent price. The ones that are too big for me are a 9 Red. These are actually a 7 Blue (if you know anything at all about the crazy numbering system at Catherines/Lane Bryant) And adding to that.... they are actually a petite. I have NEVER worn a petite before. I think my legs have gotten shorter!!!! :smile2: The chart there said a 7 is comparable to a 24. I didn't believe that. I still can't squeeze my big belly into a 26, let alone a 24!!!! I asked the girl at the store and she said that chart is off. (I would say wayyyyy off).

Still dreaming of the day I can get into a "real" size 7!!!

:thumbup:

I can't figure those sizes out either! I got a pair of the Lane Bryant Right Fit Jeans - size 3! BUT now they are too big! I'm trying to find the receipt so that I can return them! I would be happy to get a size two. I really liked the way my butt looked! Ha! 90 days til my surgery! Yippie!

Wow.... a size 2. Great for you. Once you have your surgery shopping at LB will be a thing in the past for you :sneaky: I know you are excited for it..... heck, I am excited for your surgery. Can't wait to see how absolutely fab-u-lous you look :sad:

I don't shop at Lane Bryant anymore, but when I did I HATED their "right size" campain. They wanted to measure me everytime I went to try to find jeans, but I never could find any that fit well after they did that.

Lucky you!!

but when I did I HATED their "right size" campain. They wanted to measure me everytime I went to try to find jeans, but I never could find any that fit well after they did that.

And their sizes are so freakin weird. A blue 7 fit me so much better than a yellow 8 (which were quite tight). :sneaky: Go figure.....

The blue is what I got too, BUT I was thinking a red might be better for me since I have bigger hips and thighs. It's the upside down triangle or is that the right side down triangle. I don't know! I just know I have big thighs! I went yesterday to exchange my 3's for a 2 or 1 and they have that style on sale for $19.99 now. I found some cute blouses and exercise pants for $16.00. I couldn't find my receipt so I had to do an exchange! If I had taken the refund it would have been half of what I originally paid! I hestitated buying jeans since I am not sure what size I'll be after December. BUT I also didn't want to get cheated! IF they don't fit, I'll just take them back again!

I am currently looking for a long nightie - mumu type thing to take to Mexico with me for recovery time. Not that I want to look hideous, but I will need something modest and fairly decent to wear in the hotel room and to venture out for Breakfast in the lobby. Yuck! I'm going to be scary! I am pleased, however, that I'll be able to shower by day 3. I'm going to stay in the surgicenter for 3 days. I'm getting excited and scared at the same time!

Dee----

You'll get a kick out of this. I was reading posts earlier and Kayleigh pointed to your picture and said "that's you, right?" She was so suprised when I told her it was "Miss Dee" and not me.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
