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:

this is quite wierd, I have very good restriction now and for the last couple days..I hope there is nothing wrong with my band, like maybe it is slipping back and forth. one day i can eat anything and the next not much?

Happy New Year Band friends. Hope this year will bring me a new life!

I was on vacation for the past week and will call Hoffman on monday to see what is up. In the meanwhile, Synergy is collecting my paperwork. blah....

Well Val, although I am sorry this is happening to you too, I am glad that I am not the only one. They act like I am an anomoly up there. Barb is going to think I am nuts last week I call and tell her I need a fill and freaking out cause I can eat anything, and now I cant get liquids down..tomorrow I might eat a sub! WTF........:smile2:

the thing that irritates me is that if i had seen barb, she would not of given me such a big fill...she knows im very sensitive to the fills and i dont need much. which of course i tried to tell kim and she didnt listen

Kim is an ass, barb told me kim had an opening on mon. and i told her i didn't want to see her and wanted to see barb. I just can't stand her anymore...:smile2:

Going in for my upper GI in the morning, kinda nervous about what it will show....throw some prayers my way.

Interested to hear the results Vicki

All went well Rain, band is ok and Barb said I could handle a small fill so got .2cc fill and now have a total of 5.2cc. How are you feeling, and when is your due date? will they unfill you totally or just go according to how you feel.

Vicki,

Im due sometime at the end end July.

Yes they dont unfill it totally they go by how you feel. Like I said she took out two leaving me with 4cc and I can eat A LOT. Its kinda fun to eat a whole bagel and not get stuck and barf. I knew the bathroom at every restaurant because I had to use them during every meal out. I guess thats not so good but I didnt really realize that I was getting stuck with everything I thought it was just how it had to be. Im just trying to go slow with the weight gain this time around.

You know Rain, I am glad u said that cause I too know where the bathrooms are and I need to "relieve" myself, I don't throw up, just bend over and push it out sort of..:rolleyes2: anyway, I am glad I am not the only one cause I was wondering.. I can eat a lot too even with my fills, i must have a very elastic esophogus, cause it fits but uncomfortable at times. Keep us posted and post pix of your growing tummy..lol

I have to see Dr Hoffman next Wed at 8:45am. I'm able to eat more than I should. I hope he will give me a fill so I can get back on track . I just wanted to let everyone know that I sell Avon .

where is everyone, are we hibernating for the winter or what...

yes its so darn cold....no one comes on and chats anymore...sigh
