One of my former colleagues is a Department Head at BGH. I did let her know.

I had my band 11/3. I am doing well, just having a hard time waiting the hour and a half to drink something after eating. I have been trying to distract myself so I don't watch the clock. Dr. Hoffmann is awesome, very supportive and informative. My only concern is the office staff. WATCH YOUR APPOINTMENTS!! Always verify before your appointment!!! I have been given the wrong day or time, four times now!! I have learned my lesson. My hospital experience was not what I expected either. Some of the staff were very rude. When I was admitted to the floor the nurse said "oh no not another one of Hoffmann's fatties". Well, I wont be one of "Hoffman's fatties" for long....23 pounds and counting!!!

:thumbup: It's been a week. I feel good, finally graduated to soft food!!!! Sunny...so sorry to hear you had the flu. That had to be awful!!! I hope everyone is doing well. Please let me know how everyone is doing!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!

I am in the same place. My surgery is tomorrow also. I fell the same way, as the "what ifs". The thing I am trying to remember is that I worked so hard to get here.I made the lifestyle changes, now I have to srick with them. Hang in there. Email me, maybe we can help each other. GOOD LUCK!!!

I am scheduled for surgery with Dr, Hoffman on 11/4. I am still waiting for BC approval. I feel much better after reading your posts about Dr. Hoffman.I am very nervous about this procedure. I did my research on MDs in the Buffalo/Rodchester area. I got the best feedback on Dr. Hoffman. Being a nurse, I spoke with several surgeons that I have known for years. I have not spoken to any of his patients. Thanks for the feedback!!!
