Hi, to all WNY'ers!!! I, just know I'm not the only one out there, lol! I'm 6 days post op, overall, doing well!!! So, how's everyone else doing???

Anyone who had surgery or will be having surgery with Dr. Posner .... Come to the support group at BGH on Wednesday Nov 20th at 5:30pm. It's very helpful!

When did this site move? I had to find out from someone else the site moved. How come we had no notice or e-mail telling us to change our appt.

Not sure but there are some things that need to be worked out that's for sure!!

Good news finally! My angst about this process have (hopefully) come to an end...

I got the news I was approved today! **happy dance****happy dance****happy dance**

Sorry I've had a little negativity before - just dealing with so much medical nonsense for the past few years; medical red tape is sooo frustrating to get through.

Anyway I'm stoked! Nervous and anxious now too. Awaiting calls/letters for the date and other pre-op stuff now. Maybe this will be a nice Xmas present for me!

Hello Buffalo people! Is anyone here still active?

Hey yes I'm still active but there hasn't been any topics to comment on in this form

Hello Buffalo people! Is anyone here still active?

Still here, did you get a surgery date yet?? Last time we heard from you it sounded like your insurance finally approved it?

I'm here still too. Hope all is well and good luck to those getting ready for surgery.

Oh yes! I guess I forgot to add that, woops

I am going in 12/17, I start the LRD tomorrow... Armed with all the shakes, other protein mixes, and sugar-free Jellos I could conjure up. I've done a couple days of it already this week and oh boy it's not going to be easy.

Two things I tried and really like are the Syntrax Nectars and Muscle Milk (Cytosport) Whey Isolate fruit drinks (the Cytosport is comparable to Isopure Zero Carb, but tastes WAY better and a little cheaper). These will help break up the thick milky shakes routine I hope. Game on... Wish me luck!

Hey Queen City!

Just saw your post for your approval!! Great news! Hope your pre-op diet is going well! Good luck with your surgery!! My best advice is to take care of yourself and follow the guidelines you've learned as best you can after surgery. Be prepared for some discomfort after surgery but understand most of the hardship will be a distant memory in a few short months! Also I felt the nurses were great at sisters they took great care of me! Don't be afraid to tell them what you need! Also the patch for nausea worked wonders for me! I highly recommend you tell the anesthesiologist that pain Meds make you nauseous! And don't take the patch off! You can keep in on for 3-5 days!

Good luck!

Will there be a support group meeting at Buffalo General for this month? If so, is there anything special planned?
