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:

it was great to meet you vicki. i had lost 4 lbs since the middle of december and dr hoffman as pleased. no fill...i didnt need one. actually hoff told me if i came in to see him to get surgery now, i wouldnt qualify my bmi is 35...woohoo

Thats great Val, It does feel good to be in the 30's BMI I mean, lol. I have more restriction than I had yesterday, so this is really strange. I am taking it easy cause I don't want to irritate myself anymore. I hope it doesnt get any tighter than it is now, im a little worried. tues. i felt great and yesterday i didn't have much restriction and today little things are getting hung up. so keep my fingers crossed..Im glad you are doing so well.:confused:

vicki,

the same thing happens to me. today im very tight but then tomorrow it might not be as bad...just take it day by day. the days im tighter i just eat more liquids and soft foods

yeah, i am not going to freak out yet, and i am doing mushy and liquids. I have my appetite back thats for sure. lol:smile2:

WOW, this is very sad, but I do believe this site has gone cold...no one is here anymore but me and you val, and we're not even on so much anymore. I'll check in once a day to see if this gig is over. I hope not...

yeah...i dont know where everyone has gone

vicki,

maybe everyone was sucked up into a big, black hole...lol

I hope the rapture hasn't happened and we were left behind!:frown: isn't it wierd that everyone dissapeared all at once? well, I guess its just you and me kid.:sad:

Way to make a girl feel guilty for not posting. Im just out of the weight loss mode. I wish I was at least maintaining but the weight is getting the best of me. Its so depressing to step on the scale every morning:tongue_smilie:. But Im still hear reading all about your trials and tribulations!

Well, well, lookie who popped in..Yes, u r right, we r trying to make u feel guilty, glad it worked. Just because your pregnant doesnt make u any less of a bandster, and there may be other woman who become pregnant or want to and they could gain alot of infor from u. and your only gaining baby weight not permanent weight and by staying in touch, maybe u will watch yourself more closely if your not already. we miss u chiming in everyday, and I have gained two lbs back and only have 4.4 cc's now. come on at least a couple times a week so we know how your doing. You'll probably have this baby and surpass us all on you weight loss journey! :frown:

Ok biggurl where r u now?

Yes Vicki Im always reading but havent much to post about!

Ok biggurl where r u now?

Hey Vicki, I'm still here stalking this thread from time to time lol. I'm just trying to get over a cold.:tongue_smilie:

well feel better Yvette, you've got a lotta activities to keep you going.

I on the other hand am probably going to be in dr H.'s office tomorrow. Yes, you heard me. My band has tightened up again, and as of this afternoon, can't get water down again. they told me to do ice chips and protien shakes and see how I feel tom. but right now its not good. I can't imagine why this is happening to me, but I am scared. talked to Barb and she said they never encountered anyone like me. Ha! they got that right>>:wub: anyway keep fingers and toes crossed. I will probably be totally deflated tomorrow.

hi there rain...dont get so down about the weight...the baby needs it

vicki,

i may not be far behind you. i feel tighter but im not as bad as you. im going to ride it out for a few days and see if it turns around...lol
