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:

judy,

are you walking on saturday?

val

Yes, so is Nicki. I have been out of town all week and could not come on line.

I will be at the park at 8 am (or so!) Any new walkers out there???

See you there then, you are going right? I am giving up going camping on Friday so that I can walk. I like meeting up with the group. We can talk about some way we can all communicate who will be there in the future, so no one gets there and is alone.

that would be a great idea!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to join the walkers this week.

I will also be there tomorrow (Saturday) for the park walk. Sometimes Dr. Hoffman comes.

Hopefully it will not get too hot too quickly!

Clinic update, I was at the bariatric clinic today, everyone was very friendly and helpful. They were probably glad it was friday, as was I, LOL.

where exactly do u meet up for the saturday walks, i keep trying to get there but havnt done it yet...

Also has anyone heard when the next seminar date is yet (if there is one for July)??

We meet at the Juicery, 8 am.

I doubt that there will be a July seminar, the seminars are usually the first Wednesday of the month.

If Dr. Hoffman is at the park I will ask him if he knows if there is a August seminar.

Take care.

Hey everyone!!!

I've been missing the site big time; I work as an assistant camp director in the summer and our internet is dial-up. Boo!! So getting to this site is mostly impossible. :cool:

I had to reschedule my check in with Barbara to August 2nd so I have no news...I'm doing well losing weight at camp (well, I'm not weighing myself but I'm staying mostly on plan).

Good to see new peeps around!! Judy, did you get a date yet? I scanned to see if you had but I might've missed it.

Hi everyone, I just came back from walking in Delaware Park and it was very nice. I met new people and some of you on line and had a wonderful talk and visit with everyone. The two miles went very quickly. I encourage everyone to join in if you can.

Actually, it is two miles each time, Linda, so glad we fooled you into walking four miles--it does go fast with the gang.

I started to tell a friend about your work and I did not even finish my story, she is familiar with your place on Seneca. I was very impressed.

I was saving the big news to tell until you returned, LOL--JULY 17 is my surgery date. Less than one week. I am excited and nervous both. Trying to clean house today so I can come back to a comfortable spot.

Enjoy this (ugh) heat!

OMG JUDY! That's great, I'm jealous. I wish I didn't have to wait so long; stupid summer job! :party:

work does seem to interfere with life doesnt it? I could only get 6 days off after surgery. Hope that is enough.
