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:

OMG... I'd be a basket case. I've only had mine 4 wks now and hearing these things can happen scares me too.

Please let us know!!!

I'm sorry, i dont want to scare u, it suppose to only happen to 2 % of people and once it happens, you are a higher risk for another slip, thats why i'm scared, I feel better today, doing protien shakes and yogurt and doing ok. ill test it out tomorrow and see how it goes, thanks for your encouraging words....:ohmy:

So sorry... my words were not encouraging at all- because I'm too new at this to help much. I did pray for you and sent you thoughts of wellness a few times today.

I kept looking for a reply and when there wasn't one... I hoped all was OK. The fact that you are feeling better today is an excellent sign. Even an unexperienced bander like me can tell you that.

Sometimes I wonder if when we start feeling so much better we do a bit too much. I know myself it's been 4 wks and I feel great and my back doesn't hurt anymore, my knee isn't sore. I can do things I haven't been able to do in a while but have to remind myself..... go slow!

Starting weight (first weigh-in) 238 Today 212 !!!!!!!!!!!!:scared2:
