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 sounds great Rain....cant wait to see what i weigh when i get home. i have been very good

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.

good for you Rain, I bet u are thrilled, are u in onederland yet? Congratulations..:thumbup:

Hey Nutty-Gurl ..good to see you still around causin trouble:lol:!

Sounds like you had a great time on your cruise, I hope you have some pictures to show us!

I saw some of the Tyra show but turned it as the girl who "let" the boyfriend dog her out was gettin on my last nerve. He had nerve to tell her he can get a badd-ass b*tch. I crackin up lookin at him ..he could'nt get a crack-ass b*tch the way he looked LOL.. girlfriend did'nt realize she could do a lot better than him..but she let him dog her so bad that she felt she could'nt get anything better...anyways that got on my last nerve.

But I did'nt see that part about the buffet comment.. It does remind me of what happened to me waaaay before I got into this program. I was at the Old Country Buffet (grins at vicki) and this guy had to nerve to walk past me and say " I hope you save enough for everyone else" :w00t: OK:angry: China.. You know I went off on his azz! I cussed his azz out and loud talked him and told him he didnt know me and I would slam his face right into that tray.. Dude practically ran back to his seat LMAO ...the elderly lady standing next to me who heard him ..leaned over to me and said " that's telling him! He won't be quick to open his mouth like again". I was like yup, but I had to laugh about it to keep from going over to his table and dumping my tray over his head. <-- That would have been funny!

oh biggurlx i did sneak you a nice man back in my suitcase:tt2: feels like we havent talked in ages im still crazy.

I'll be over to pick my package up :w00t:

We have to get together and head back to the gym now that the weather is cooling off :scared2:

Oh Yea Vicki weigh in day. I am down 2lbs since last week. 4.5 lbs to go until the halloween challenge is over. Next thursday-monday I will be in Miami Beach so I hope I dont screw up.
