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:

Congrats. I'm Glad it's going well for you so far.

I just had my one week post-op appointment with Dr.Hoffman. My incisions look good and Im free to start pureed foods. Cant wait! I lost 8 lbs since my last weigh in. So far so good.

I was there today, darn, I would have looked for you. I was at the center almost the whole day. Was Brubear there too? Darn!

Congrats on the weight loss.

I scheduled my psych appt w/Dr Ron Lelito, who else went to see him? My appts not for 2 weeks. I'm a little nervous, they said its 3 hours long?!? I can even imagine how much he can ask in 3 hours...

Judy what happened today? Did you get a date for surgery?

Rainwi, Congratulations! Hope all continues to go well. I have to be on clear liquids next week for my colonoscopy. What did you eat for clear liquids?

I saw him about a month ago. I was only there about an hour. He is very direct, does not waste time. I would not be nervous. Of course he said I was not psycho, so I am not sure if he is such a good judge of character, LOL.

A number of us have used him, and we have all been approved.

My surgery will be in July, we are still hammering out the details. For clear liquids I just drank canned chicken broth, popsicles and jello. Do you have diabetes? I used jello with sugar and it really screwed me up a little, too much sugar too fast.

As a reminder, you can not eat red jello or popsicles.

Where are you going? I live in Elma, I went to a guy in West Seneca.

Hey everyone. Hi Judy I was there too. My appointment was for 8:15. Too bad I didn't know you would be there. I would have looked for you too.

I had Dr. Lelito too. Nothing to be woried about. It goes very quickly.

How exciting Judy! I am having a tough time being away from home and eating properly. To much time and temptation. I can't wait to get home on Saturday. I am having it on Thursday so I just asked my intern to send me the instructions as I thought I had to stop certain things ahead of time. I am glad I did because I have to stop the iron pills. Yes I am diabetic so I always have suger free jello in the house but of course most of it is red. I live in S Buffalo and go to a woman in West Seneca but Dr. Hoffman wants to do this himself.

I was there from 8:45 until 2, but I was closed in the room most of the time. Were you there with your husband? I am vaguely aware of a couple coming out of one of the rooms, but I was focused on myself. It had occurred to me that both of you would be there post-op, then is slipped my mind. Oh well, another time!

Any walkers for this Saturday? I am not sure as I may be camping. I know Nicki will be in NYC, lucky girl. I will call you Val and Lorraine and let you know either way. If I am in Buffalo I will walk for sure!

yes let me know judy- i will be walking prob anyway

yes let me know judy- i will be walking prob anyway

I am hoping to leave Friday and stay at camp until Sunday am. I will call you though either way. I think Loraine might go. Maybe there will be some new walkers to accompany you?

hi my name is china i have been roaming around here just reading i have did all the test except pyc. and the scope one turned in application about a month ago just to learn today that no one has it and i brought it in. was informed that there is not seminar for july next one isn't till aug. so can any one tell me if they have been invited to one for june. spoke with lisa and she said she was going to check into the date and see where my application could have gone. im hoping that it is just misplaced. im a little disappointed but i have to remember that all good things come to those who wait.

i keep reading about support meetings and was wondering if there is any one that walks during the week in the evening time. if so can i join.

Brubear, How can I add a ticker to my site? I found the ticker and everything but can't get it to the site. I don't understand the cut and past this etc. Can you help explain it? Thanks.
