I am so glad you could find a way around your lung issues. Amazing time we live in. You are going to do great with your weight loss. Good for you.

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!!!

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!
