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:

Hey everyone!

I've had a bad food week; I don't know what it is but I feel like I'm eating all kinds of garbage!

So today I've started back measuring, etc. I was really feeling like I could eat ANYTHING and a lot of it. I know that's because I'm losing weight and the band loosens a bit but still. I'll be excited for a fill in January.

So we're going to walk in the Galleria? Will this still be the same time, etc.? The time is just so early, sometimes I'm so lazy, lol. I still can't believe I've never made it. Well, yes I can but I can't believe I haven't met y'all yet.

Anyway...holidays here we come!

Sorry, that was for Vicki, not to meet for exercise (since it is a restaurant) but anyone is welcome to join us once we figure a day and time.

Judy, is the autumnview the same as the elma town grill on clinton and bowen?

And I goofed again, it is Forestview, not Autumnview! Oh well, I will recant the information after I check with my work schedule, but this week is a definite for meeting as I am in town all week.

Well, I did not eat like a pig this weekend, but I shopped like one. Was shopping to replace my missing purse and wallet and bought even things that were not stolen. Like a sweater, Christmas shirt, etc. Eating would have been cheaper for sure!! Dr. Posner said we would develop new obsessions but I was hoping mine would be housecleaning or sex, not shopping!!!

I see Hoffman this week and I do not think I lost anything. I know he will be upset with me.

Vicki, Linda is not free until Friday. However, are you going to the Support meeting? We might be able to meet for coffee before the meeting begins.

Judy,

When is your appt. with Dr Hoffman? Mine is tomorrow at 3pm.

Mine is at 3:30, but he told me to come anytime after 1, I will look for you-even if I come at 1 I am sure I will be there until 3, LOL!!! Cant wait to see you.

Judy,

is there valet parking the night of the meeting this week? And does anyone know the room # for the support meeting, I really want to try to make it after work.

Judy,

What do you think he means anytime after 1? thats weird knowing them you will be sitting there for an awful long time! If we dont see each other than I will be at the meeting on Wednesday.

Rain, I think he does not want to be there any later than he has too. I will bring work with me just in case. Dont be surprised if they call you to come in earlier. I was surprised that they booked so late.

So see you Tuesday or Wednesday.

is there valet parking the night of the meeting this week? And does anyone know the room # for the support meeting, I really want to try to make it after work.

Yes, there is Valet. There might be a sign that says temporarily closed but ignore it... Just pull up and wait untl you see the guys come back to the stand. They are either parking cars or picking them up so give them time to get back.

When you walk into the hospital from the revolving doors, on the right you will see a small cafe type area.. Just go thru the double doors around the end of the cafe and the meeting room is on the right . If there is a problem, just ask at the desk where the support meeting is..

Looking forward to meeting you.

Already I am sick of broth and juice and Protein drinks , can't wait till tomorrow when I can have tomato Soup or any cream soup w/o lumps. I was d/c'd last night about 5pm.

hey by the way, what is d/c'd

hey all!! Quick question, do you have to take your support person to all your appointments??

d/c means discontinued, like a treatment is discontinued or a medicine etc.
