I'm going to buff general with dr Hoffman!!!

I had dr Hoffman too. Great guy. Fast talker but great dr. No regrets. Best of luck.

@ kimmerzj29

I have heard that Buffalo General is a good hospital and you know you are going to do great. Just walk, walk, walk and pass gas from both ends and the gas pains will be gone before you know it. You will be in my thoughts.

@It'sMeAnonyMouse

Did you call synergy? Did you get an appointment?

I haven't yet but I will tomorrow! WHY do I keep putting this off??

@It'sMeAnonyMouse

Can't get started without making that first call. Go for it, I think you will be very happy.

I know it has only been 4 days but I am just thrilled. What pain there was is all but gone.

Good luck

Came so quickly!!! Had a rough day yesterday and tough morning but the nurses and aids here are awesome and helped keep me comfortable! Hopefully will be able to eat some jello and broth today and will get to go home!

One month post op and it's lent and in buffalo that means a Friday fish fry tradition. I didn't want my limitations with diet to take this away from something my hubby and I enjoyed so we went!

Opted for week one for a polish restaurant where I knew they would have my husbands standard fish fry but other choices for me. I ended up with scallops and sweet/sour cabbage and chowder. Yummy. Passed on the bread and gave my husband the potato pancake and brought home a good sized doggy bag! Hoping for the same success next Friday!
