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:

Yes the Roycroft is very pretty my uncle had his second wedding there. East Aurora seems like more than half way though. What is half way Im geographically challenged?

1/2 way would be Utica or Syracuse way.

I should know soon if I'm coming for a couple days. That will make a big difference, because I'm planning a trip for other reasons too.

rain,

thats prob how long u will be there. last time i was there my appt was 830 and i got out at 11. its hard to plan when you have to work. i always ask for the first or last appt. im thinking its prob better to ask for the last one.

jenn if you come to orchard park we could plan a get together. my house isnt huge but we could do it there

Veronica,

I always ask for the last appointment. It means that I have to leave work like 2 hrs early but I know when I sit in the office waiting I dont feel guilty like I need to get back to work. Of course it also means that hes super backed up and thats a pain. I dont even need a fill so its not like I even really need to see him. One time I had an appt with just Barb and I was out in like 30 minutes!

i tried that but i cant always leave work on time...lol. i think once i was in and out...actually the np and hoffman came in at the same time...part of the problem of course is they need another doc. also, i wont be weighing in till saturday as i dont get home till friday nite....im in the country in kentucky

I'll keep you all posted on my trip to Orchard Park. I know I'm going eventually, just not sure when.

That would be a great get together

Anyone have an appointment tomorrow at like 2:30 til midnight haha

LOL...Rain you is too funny! I actually have an appt tomorrow from 12:30pm to midnight :thumbup:

Don't be too quick to laugh Rain, it just might come true, especially if he forgets you and you get locked in there...lol:scared2:

oh my...that would be bad...i always think they have forgotten about me when i sit there so long

oh my...that would be bad...i always think they have forgotten about me when i sit there so long

I've decided not to let them close the door anymore, I want the door to stay open from now on.......:thumbup:

Thanx Biggurl, I burned alot of calories just reading the recipe, wow I will try it, but I had no idea it was so involved . Maybe I'll just come to your house and eat yours.:eek:

sure come on over! Let me know when you go to the next group meeting and i'll bring you a batch.

you got that right rain. actually we should plan a weekend...we could meet half way. it would be fun

Sounds like fun!

Hey Biggurl its a possibility you still might be there by the time I arrive whats two hours?? Thats like two minutes to them.

good luck girls, you know he was gone for several days, hope your not there all day.......

well I was only there for about 40 minutes because I told Dr Hoffman it was ok if he didnt see me this time. I knew I didnt want a fill so it was quick. I lost 8.5 lbs since my last weigh in so Im pretty happy. I also got a package in the mail before I left of all clothes from Express. And they fit!! So exciting the biggest size they carry is large so I was thrilled.
