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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting 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.
