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:

Thank for the info Judy. I hope I hear something soon . Can I bring my daughter to a seminar ? How long are they?

Seminar was about 2.5 hours I think. They have signs up that they do not want children to come, but some ignore it. How old is your daughter? You have to bring your support person to the seminar. If your daughter is over 18 that would probably work.

Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what is wrong with me, just when i thought I did not have any restriction, i went on a binge today: within 3 hrs, i ate 1 1/2 cheddarwurst sausages with mustard fried squash , and three cucumbers in maries blue cheese dressing and a sf pudding. I am in soooooo much pain right now, feels like my left side was hit with a hammer. did i tear something inside, or is this normal for being a pig? can some tell me if this is normal or should i be worried? I am sooo ashamed of myself. groaaaan.........

Why is this ticker coming up twice, i tried to cancel the pic. And now i have two tickers and a pic.

When were you banded? I can only eat about 1/3 cup. I think it is pretty hard to break the band, but be careful so that you do not stretch out the top, your new stomach!

You need input from others, as I have only been banded two weeks, and I would not get past one sausage.

I was banded on june 9, 08 I have had 1, 1.5cc fill on 7-15. I can eat quite a bit, and i don't see dr.H. until sept 2. i'm afraid I will stretch my pouch, what should I do?

Dear anybody, what did I do, I know this is not first priority, but how do I get rid of my beagle pics and the 2nd ticker?????????

I am not sure what to tell you, I can not give medical advice. I would try to measure my food, eat slow so you can stop before the pain. I usually get a warning twinge.

I am going on September 2, we can meet! I think mine is at 10 am or so. What time will you be there. Please be careful. It does not sound good to eat that much. Will you learn from the pain do you think? The pain has helped me to slow down for sure.

Can you meet us in the park next Saturday? You will get a lot of help from the other ladies.

Sorry, I could not even get my ticker on much less help get one off!

unfortunatly, my appt with the Hoff is at 1:00 and it wouldn't do me much good to meet at the park, since i cannot walk far at all, I was an R.N. back in the day and got hurt badly (back and knees) hopefully when I get some more wt off I will be able to meet with you guys it sounds so supportive and fun...Thanks for listening and I absolutely will be more careful....

OK, keep in touch. I hurt myself at least once a day too. The amount just seems so small!

I just looked it up, there is a support group meeting August 20, maybe that would help.

Take care.

Great thanks, I hope you will be there, it would be nice to meet someone i've been typing to.lol...let me know if you'll be there. vicki
