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:

yes he def will...i know myself when i pick up a pair of pants...im like wow these are so small. im bored tonight...anyone else

im bored, up all night with heartburn, still get it intermittently, about 3 times a week, never know what will cause it. How about you Val and Yvette, do u guys still get heartburn, what do u do for it?

its better, i get it sometimes but not at nite

its better, i get it sometimes but not at nite

I get it day or nite, had it bad last nite. ate some tums, didn't help much. did u get a fill last time you were there? How many cc's do u have? im wondering if i am too tight, i cant stand this anymore, I don't know what normal for the band is suppose to feel like. i cant eat much, but i am always hungry, is that normal?

Hey Vicki,

I was having heartburn all lastnight too. I think it was the chef salad I had for lunch and the broccoli soup I had for dinner. I think I may have to do semi soft for a bit until my stomach heals.. I am trying a natural suppliment thats suppose to kill H-pylori called. Mastica (also called mastic gum), it comes in capsule form and I 4 a day. I've only been taking it for about a week and half and it seems to be working. Oh and I also take peptobismal to help coat my stomach..anyways if you keep having the heartburn try prilosec and the peptobismal. That'll "probably" help.

i have had bad heartburn today, but i ate out for lunch and dinner, which i dont usually do. i took an extra prilosec to see if that helps. btw i had a date tonite...lol. im home pretty early...but he seems like a dud...lol

wow, ur not kidding ur home early. he must have been a dud. I am thinking of becoming a lesbian with a platonic relationship. lol guys are a## holes.

Yvette, how come your not on antibiotics for the h-pylori.

I do take prilosec and tums ultra, but honestly, i dont think the pill make it to my lower stomach where they work.:thumbup:

I decided to try a more natural approach first before using the antibiotics. I think it's working...I did'nt have any heartburn today. I did stick to more softer foods like turkey stuffing, softly cooked string beans, a little mac&cheese and cranberry sauce....um and brownies and a little pie for dessert:blink::ohmy:

Oh and a glass of white wine..for the anti-oxidents:rolleyes2:

Good thing I did burned some of those calories by doing Contra Dancing (like square dancing). It was fun! Only problem with it was too much spinning..I was dizzy as hell afterwards!:ohmy:
