i didnt want to post this on the site, but wanted to let you know i work for the catholic health system and i chose to have my surgery at bgh. now going with caruana you can get in faster but i think hoffman/posner are more thorough and strict and i needed that. while hoffman ended up being my surgeon dr posner was the name i was given. both docs are great

i have a hard time with dense protein like chicken and beef. dr hoff isnt worried tho...he said as long as i am able to get soft foods in he is not worried. i can tell you i cant eat bread as it fills me up too much and any carbonation is out. i did buy a book on the sleeve and it was quite informative -
