Had my LAP BAND done on 11-26-2007 in Buffalo, NY at Buffalo General Hospital by Dr. Aaron Hoffman. I've have had no problems what-so-ever and the support from Dr. Hoffman has been FANTASTIC. He is the BEST doctor ever! I would recommend anybody from the Buffalo, Rochester, NY area to have Dr. Hoffman perform the BAND! GREAT DOC!:eek:

Hello everyone! I'm very new to this site but was very excited to find this forum about Dr. Hoffman. Hubby and I go on the 23rd, and providing everything is in, we get our surgery dates. We were originally scheduled with Posner, but hubby saw Hoffman in the hall and asked if that was our doctor. I told him no. He said that it should be. So, I called the office and they gladly switched us to Hoffman. Dr. Hoffman was so wonderful at our last visit, and he is so encouraging!!! Looking forward to this journey with him!

dr. hoffman is wonderful....he is a great doc. he is kind, friendly, truly wants his patients to do well and he is a great doc. not often you find all that in 1 doctor

Hello buffalo friends. I attended the seminar with my hubby. Somewhat informative. I am trying to get a surgery date before december...we shall see if that happens. Did anyone use Dr. Posner? My brother (a plastic surgeon) said that posner has a better surgical record than hoffman but hoffman just seems so much more personable (not to mention hot). Any feedback?

Who else was at the 9/17 seminar?

Same here Vicki, I went to the old country buffet today and had a good time hehe..the fried chicken was off da hook!

I do'nt really diet on the weekends. Tomorrow is my day to start.

Good morning gals
