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:

That is great Rain!

I increased my calories yesterday to 1100, and that was hard to do without eating junk food!

I'll be back to check and see how great everyone else did

I could just cry, cause yesterday i weighed 207 which put me back where I was and this am i am at 208.:thumbdown: Oh well i have to change my ticker but it will be going up since the last time i changed it I was 207. At the beginning of this challenge, I weighed 209.7 so I am down 1.7 lbs...

GOOD JOB on the loss Vicki, maybe you ate something salty or something last night. Lets keep plugging away.

You are awsome Val, vacation and TOM and u stayed the same, Kudo's to u!!!!!!!!:mad:

WOW you girls are doing great!!!!!!!

Maria:thumbup:

thanks vicki...now if i could get my ticker to show up

Val that is great you maintained. I think that is huge

Ok everyone have a great night!

thanks vicki...now if i could get my ticker to show up

If it helps, the only way I could get my ticker to show up was to save it as a picture then at the bottom of the 'edit your signiture' part is an 'option 2 - upload image from your computer'. I did this, then when the ticker shows up on the screen, directly under it, click where it says 'insert signiture picture'

I hope this help/works for you. I had to play around for a while to get mine to work:thumbup:

thanks ill try that later

I heard that one of the Dr's in Dr Hoffman's office has to leave because of illness . Has anyone else heard ?

Good Mornning everyone

ok back on track, and down another lb. My ticker actually is where I'm going to be by 10/31, even if it was 12lbs to start.

I increased my calories and changed up what I'm eating and still at about 1000 a day, but that is 300 more than I was getting and have lost 3lbs in 2 days. This might be a good thing.

I go to see my nutritionist next friday and I'm gonna print out my jounal for her to look at.

I have surgery on Thursday next week, so hope the pain meds don't mess me up too much.

Have a great day, heading out for a walk.
