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:

mmmmm that would be nice

Is BigGurl bringing her cookies?????? :smile2:

I had'nt planned on going but Vicki you twisted my arm lol..so yes, i'll bring a batch of low cal chocolate chip cookies! :thumbup:

How about if everyone bring something lite/low cal to share? We could always do a recipie swap.

Hey all

I finally lost a lb yesterday and wouldn't get on the scale this am, went to applebees last night with a friend, had a drink, which ok, that was the good part, had a few chips with spinach dip and a steak and mashed potatoes, ate 1/2 of it there and finished it off when I got home and it was settled in.... I hate reheating food.

I suck too, that is bad of me

I am going to an appointment then heading to the gym to get some weights in, maybe a walk later, i'm tring to be realistic with exercise, but it is beautiful here today so I'll probably walk

Sorry guys I wont be going to the meeting tonight I have to pack for my trip.I leave tomorrow morning.

Rain, have a great trip, looks like the weather hear is going to suck so your leaving at the right time...

Jenn, sometimes we have to be human and just eat a nice dinner out with friends and family as long as we are not sitting and eating a whole cake with a gallon of ice cream, I think it is ok once in a while to splurge.....I have that horrible heart burn again.I got filled 2 weeks ago so why is the heart burn comming back now??????????:thumbup:

You could be too tight or maybe its something with what you ate. I've been suffering with heartburn too which is why I had another UNfill last wed. So Dr Hoff put me on that 5 day pouch test.. It helped alot and heartburn went away but when I ate some really soft roast it seem to come back. So I think that really solid meats like roast and chicken breast is just not going to work for me :crying:

I hope they feel better Vicki. I had'nt made the cookies yet so i'll wait maybe until the next meeting. Since the meetings have been in the cafeteria area we should do a healthy potluck there after one of the meetings..just a thought...

Rain, could you do me a favor and bring me back a gallon of Florida Sunshine :thumbup: Have a fun trip!

Vicki

Yeah, i was ok with it when I ate 1/2 there, it was finishing it off that made me feel gross.

Hope the family feels better!

It is all a mind game, all of it. I am convinced of that, the last 30 came off only because I really wanted it with every ounce of me. I know the scale is not moving but I also know I'm gaining muscle and inches, so I'm not going to let the numbers get me down

thanks everyone. they just came back from the doc and he says he doesn't think it is swine flu, just a really bad cold. I cleaned up the house for her and did laundry and put Jadon down for a nap so I am home now and maybe go back later. we will see...

Yea, I thought if I was too tight the heart burn would have started right away after the fill but I will go on a bland diet and see if it calms down... the iced tea started aggravating it again so I will stop drinking that.. I cannot eat chicken breast or dryer denser meats either BigGurl, they just don't want to go down..Hope this goes away, I really don't want to go get unfilled AGAIN!!!!! but I will if I have to cause this sucks big time.....

Ice tea kills me, I just don't have a desire for it most of the time, now hot sauce, or anything hot, I can't do that, heart burn is horrible, so I really have to be in the mood to make it worth dying for a night or 2. LOL

Glad it is just a cold
