If you do, do you miss it?  Well, if you do and you and you let it go flat before drinking it (I don't drink carbonated beverages post op), there is a new product out there that tastes just like it and is sugar free and carbohydrate free.   It is designed especially for women, with antioxidants, calcium, and ginseng.   It even promises to donate 5% of it's gross products to charity!

Great, good luck to you, hope it all works out for you.  Were you able to go to that link at lapbandtalk?  There's lots of info about him there. 

I did not use him.  I did call his office to set up a consult appt and the gal on the phone (her name was Natalie) was so rude that it turned me off.  However, that being said, that seems to be the exception and not the norm.  I have heard from many people that have used him and really have been pleased.  And they say that is very out of character for Natalie (I think that was her name it was almost a year ago).  Everyone has a bad day now and then, and I must've caught her's.  However, she's just a representative of the office and not the actual surgeon too.  Key is to find someone that you feel comfortable with.  Hence my decision to go with Dr. Snyder.  Good luck to you.  You might also check at http://www.lapbandtalk.com/index.php?referrerid=37242, under the topic Doctors & Hospitals is a whole thread devoted to Dr. K and many of his devoted patients.  Hope that helps.  Good luck to you!! 

Dr Edward Kirschman in Aurora. He practices out of Aurora South and Parker Adventist.
I used him when I lived in Denver for about 15 years before my RNY and after.
