I too had Dr. Hoffman at BGH. He is awesome as well as the whole bariatric team! I know the original posts were a couple years ago, but is anyone still keeping up on here? If so, how are you doing? I am glad to see folks from WNY and especially Dr. Hoffman's patients!

Hi guys! I'm a patient of Dr. Hoffman. July will be 3 yrs post sleeve for me. I'm doing well!!! The struggle is real trying not to let old eating habits slip back. Those old habits can creep their little ugly heads back in if you don't stay alert. I turned 62 two weeks ago and I know, without a shadow of doubt, if I hadn't been sleeved I might not be here now. I never made it to my goal weight, but, I feel great!!!

Tonawanda here

First off, Happy Belated Birthday. I am a couple weeks older than you. Just had my sleeve in February and feeling great. I had Dr. Joseph Caruana from Synergy and the surgery was at ECMC. Everything went much better than I had thought it would. Thanks for the advice

So glad you're doing well! It's the decision we could have made!!!! Concentrate on getting as much of the weight off your first year. I wish you the very best!

I am in Lockport NY. Working with Dr. Dibenedetto, my surgery will be in Rochester. I don't have a date yet, I have a final meeting with my nutritionist at the end of February, at which point she should clear me for surgery.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
