Hello---this is my first posting. I was banded on 5/1/06 by Dr. Posner in Buffalo, NY. I did a lot of research about the gastric lap band surgery prior to my own banding....now, I feel like I don't know a thing about it!! Could somebody answer a few questions ??--is depression normal ?? what is the usual meal ?? can you eat meat again ?? are the "fills" painful ??....I'm sure I'll have a million more questions. Thanks.

Hi,

I was wondering how your experience was with Dr Posner. I was thinking about going to him for my surgery.How are you doing.Any information you could give me I would really appreciate,kind of new at this. How long do you have to be on Clear liquids after you surgery. Do you attend the support groups,is their a lot of support after the surgery with Dr posners clinic.

thank -you for your time,

Molly

Iam glad that Dr hoffman came to buffalo he is well experienced with the lapband system. he has done over 550 lapbands and the people lovvvvvvve him. i just cant wait to be next in line.he is verrrry caring. i spoke with a few months back felt as though i knew him all my life. very nice man.and i told him hoffman or nothing and he laugh. would you rather have some one who has done 70 lapebands or 550or more you do the math for me the one with the most experience will do.
