Hi D.,

I will be banded on February 13th by Dr. Posner. How about you?

hi i am also looking into getting this done in buffalo- so far not sure what dr yet- as i was looking to going to dr caurana for the gastric and thinking maybe the lap with dr posner would be best- i am still not sure-

Hi! I am from the Buffalo area too. I see Dr. Forbes. She is in the group with Dr. Posner.

Anybody scheduled in Buffalo next week?

I will be banded by Dr. Forbes April 28th, but there is a chance I could be moved up to either the 7th or the 14th.

Congrats. I was banded on February 13th by Dr. Posner. It's such a thorough program and gives you real assurance that you're doing the right thing. I'm three weeks out and doing great. Best wishes to you and stay in touch. Maybe we'll meet up at the clinic!!

Your doing GREAT! You must feel so good! I'm really looking forward to getting this weight off and feeling better.

I would love to chat with you all about your results and imputs or for those who have been yet where are you in the process?

Hello! Here in Buffalo as well. Still awaiting my paperwork from Dr. Posner/Forbes/Hoffman's office.

Very interested in hearing about the experiences with any of the doctors at BGH from other Buffalo bansters!!

:thumbup:

i have been trying to do the lap band since jun '07 and its been a long road.. I went to sent Dr carunna 1st but he felt the lap band would be best for me since I didnt have a sweet tooth. I have had issues with the gen gastric health dept at buffalo general handlimg everything, but I am sure the wait was worth it..(they are really sweet women in the administration ) I see the doctor mid april . I have done research on both lap band and gastric and I feel lap band is for me.. I hope to have the surgey by end of april we will see?? praying soon. As far as the doctors -- many friends have had dr carunna who is a wonderful doctor -- very sincere and his office staff is awesome-- extremely !! lap band is only done with the posner,forbes and hoffman with kalieda health-- -- I hear excellent reports about forbes and hoffman -- so i am going with the banding and pray this tool will help me lose the weight that the thyroid condition wants to keep adding on me..

i have decided to do the lap band with Dr Hoffman-- he seems the most available and I would like it done asap (i've been trying to get the band done since jun'07.. ) I cant wait to see this tool working with what I already do with exercising and eatting correctly-- feel free to email me-- we are in this together to get to out healthest wieght
