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:

well, as usual, I OPENED MY mouth too soon. i'm back up a few lbs...

No friggin way, another scope, wow, I am frettin' over the upcoming one in the spring, I have an appt with the hoff on wed at 945, so maybe he will set a date.

why did you go for a scope anyway, i am going cause i've had some pretty terrible heartburn on and off since the band. It scares me cause of the cancer thing. wishing you well, and keep us all updated...:thumbup:

Goodnews! I don't think I have to do another scope...just a breath test to make sure the H-Pylori is gone. :thumbup:

Great new Yvette, hope all is well in the old food shute..:smile2:

:idea:ta ta for now

Thanks

sorry, been a little pre occupied - have not been on the scale in days and afraid to, doing ok with food but horrible with water, which is my worst enemy!

Jenn I know how you feel about the water...I have such a hard time with it too.

Yvette..glad to hear you dont need another scope!

I see the doc tomorrow at 1:15. Anyone else have an appt around that time?

This will be my 6 week check up. Hope they do a fill as I am

still hungry after eating and still at a stand still. Maybe that would help a bit.

In the dumps today as boyfriend and I broke up over the weekend after 8 years.

Shitty but i think he's found someone else. My heart is broken :confused: and this makes dieting even harder with this depression. I really think he waited til I got through the surgery to break it off as he was my support person.

Hi Maria,

My appt was for tomorrow but I had to change it to March 23rd . I hope you're able to get your fill tomorrow. Sorry about your breakup ..atleast he waited until after your surgery to hit you with that bad news.

Yeah I guess it was better for me that he waited til afterward.

To bad I wont see you tomorrow. Maybe the next group meeting!

Yahoo! I seen the hoff today, down to 194, lost 8 lbs in 6 weeks which is huge for this stage of the band. 5 lbs to go to reach my 100 lb loss target. I am soooo happy, don't really know how i did it, been eating a lot of no sugar added edie's ice cream with whipped cream on top. Could it be a diet breakthrough? Lol....
