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 would say Im pretty happy with it. Of course its not as easy as you think its going to be. It is a big pain in the ass, but it definitely helps you lose weight. I just wish it wasnt so fickle. Why can you eat one thing one day and be fine and the next your in the bathroom for hours???

I would not go crazy recommending it but for some it is a real life saver without it you just know they would never have lost the weight.

Great Veronica, Happy you will be out of ur misery...Not sure about the 25th sounds like a lot of fun, but have out of town guests that weekend. will see if they will be with me or not on that day.

Seeing Hoffman tomorrow morn at 10:15, hope i get a fill, cause i've gained more weight and have a very healthy appetite...grooooooan....

Up 3 more pounds, got a fill of 1.2 cc's, feel restriction now, so hopefully I can detox and get back on board, need to finish my Edy's sf 1/2 fat icecream first haha.
