Hi everyone, I have heard that my surgeon is leaving and where I live in Rural KS I need to have a new one. Dr. Kirshenbaum is probably the closest to me. Is he young old aggressive in his fills, what about follow up care? Does he consult with you on the phone or e-mail? Is he easy to talk to about every aspect of weight loss. TOM to hunger to cravings overfills. If anyone can help, we don't have much for choice out here:thumbdown: Thanks for your help. Kerry from KS

I live in CO and am considering Dr. Kirshenbaum. Everything I have heard about him is all positive. Go to the "Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum" feed and you can see how great he is. They talk about their experiences and are just helpful in general. Hope this helps somehow! :thumbup:

Hi Kerry3: You can see by my tagline I went with Dr. K. My experience was more than I had hoped for. Very pleased. He's not aggressive with fills. You can expect a methodical doctor, no rush type. I was left with the impression he wanted you to fully understand the band, how it works and how the surgery works. My kinda guy. I'm post op one year, no problems with the surgery, recovery or my band. I was very pleased. Since I started he has added staff to his team. There is a woman named Natalie who works in his office. She's like the go to girl and I recommend you calling their office and just asking for her. She's been banded so she's "one of us". She's a great first contact person.

Best of luck.

I am not for sure about that. I don't see why not since you were banded in the US. Then again, don't listen to me since I haven't talked with him yet. Oh yeah, by the way ~ I just sent you a reply email and didn't realize that you are already banded, sorry about that! I am not yet banded, but hope to be soon. :thumbup:

I have a friend that was banded in Mexico and she lives in Nowhere, KS. She found someone she really likes but for the life of me I can't think of her ID here. If you email me through the LBT system I will email her and get you guys together to exchange info.

      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!
