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 went beautifully. Feeling amazing!!

I am having my band removed and revised to the sleeve next Monday the 3rd.. Excited and hopeful that this will work this time

I will tell you that this is the best thing I could have ever done. With the best surgeon I could have ever found. It is totally different than the band. I actually get FULL and not UNCOMFORTABLE like with that dam plastic thing inside of me. I will give you one tip. I was feeling REALLY good one week post op. Then 10 days out I started to get pain right where the band was and where the port had been. I freaked out because it was "new" pain. I called the office and they told me that it was more than likely residual pain from the band removal. After 4 days of Tylenol I felt way better. But I was positive I had a leak or some other horrible thing. Nope. Just the band giving me one. Last. Headache. ???? good luck!!! See ya on the losers bench!

Three weeks post op today. Feeling great. Hadn through the whole process. Down 16.5 lbs as of this morning. I have moved on to soft foods.
