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:

i dont really like popsicles or fudgiscles...i have the problem with sensitive teeth....i dont have problems usually drinking hot or cold things

oh Jenn, I couldn't think about any kind of peppers in my food right now:scared2: I am burning up as it is...........How are u doing, you don;t chime in as often as u used to....Hey, I see ur bmi is in the 20's, that is awsome!!!!!good for u.

LOL I know, I have been off them for 3 months, just started adding cyanne for a little kick that doesn't kick my butt.

I'm ok, kind of busy, was working on my bathroom, worked a little, and walk for 1 1/2 hr ever day and go to the gym and doing the mom thing.

Honestly i'm mentally exhausted! Wow, it is in the 20's I never really paid attention, I know I will be out of the obese stage in another 5lbs, that is all I've been focusing on. LOL

that is great....that is my goal to jenn...for me thats 137 lbs...i think i was born weighing more than that.....lol

Val, that is not in the normal range, just the "overweight" range but not the obese range either!

baby steps.

I can't worry about the scale right now, i just need to keep pluggin away

on a happy note, I'm eating 1200 cals the last 2 days, I think it is working, lost 2lbs yest, 1 was from gain. hope it stays gone

Oh, ok. well I have been drinking protien shakes for breakfast, and sometimes lunch I drink the EAS chocolate one from sam's club, i am sure they have them everywhere, they are good cold, the only ones I have found that I really like. they are a little expensive, about $24 for a case, not really bad now that I think about it, cause i just bought muscle milk $3.19 a bottle and I hated it....:closedeyes:

Also, I was wondering if anyone knows where to get soy pasta?:w00t:

im going to go and get some and go back to the liquids. im in philadelphia next week for work and i see dr. h when i get back the first week of november

That is what I did Val, i drank the EAS myoplex lite for three days, and my heart burn is gone at the moment. see if that helps. I hope so cause i know how horrible it is....:blushing:

well i actually called dr h. today, he met me at bgh and took out 3 cc...more than i wanted but i have an appt in 2 weeks and he said he will start to refill me then. i feel better already....no regurgitation but im on liquids for awhile

WOW, that was fast,lol, I thought u were on ur way to the store :laugh:,,well, good for u Val, I didn't know it was that bad, I hope ur good now and heal fast...keep me posted...:blushing:

if i wasnt going away i would of waited...but since im leaving in the morning i thought i better take care of it now. i actually had a slimfast shake and a protein shake in...thats more than i had yesterday. im leaving for philadelphia tomorrow for a conference but will be taking my laptop with me

If I were leaving town I would have done exactly what you did Val cause there is nothing worse than a bad case of heartburn...I am miserable when it flares up, i can't even think straight........

i am hoping i can sleep tonite...last few nites have been bad

Hey Ya'll

how the heck are you all doing?

How is the heartburn for ya? any better?

Just wanted to check in, busy weekend ... sun is finally out so I'm happy about that

Hi all, I'm new to the site. I am pre-op. Just started south beach diet. Not easy. I was reading your posts and it seems like some people have not been happy with BGH. So far, I have not encountered that but is everyone overall happy with their care?

now that he took 3cc out of my band...no heartburn, but hopefully i wont gain any weight
