Dr. Aaron Hoffman - Lap Band done in Buffalo, NY (Dr. Hoffman)

[vicki s 146]

Vicki,

They think you have a slipped band and there making you wait til June 3rd? That doesnt sound right. Why arent they checking to put your mind at ease?

not really sure rain, DR H. said to stop taking my potassium meds and to stop downstairs on my next appt date to have the test done, he said lisa would schedule it and she did for 8:30 am.. Someone said he was going out of town, so maybe he didn't want to deal with it now..I;m not really sure. he said if he had to operate, it wouldnt be as bad as the first surg!!!!!:thumbup: OMG i hope it;s not slipped.

now believe it or not it feels like i dont have enough restriction but i go back to see hoff on the 19th- barb said they would add a little if i needed it...i prob will. i like when he does the fills he numbs the area first and doesnt let me see the needle...barb didnt...lol and im a nurse

[RAINWI 4]

They better numb me even after eight tries they never get it in. Ive only had Hoffman do my fills and he cant even find it! I have an appt on the 13th and cant wait Im sure I need a fill this time around.I hate the pain but like the results Im pretty sure Im close to my sweet spot.

Rain, Martinis sound good to me also.. Maybe one night during the summer after the meeting a group of us can go down to a Martini Bar somewhere on Elmwood or close by..

Hey all! I am from Niagara Falls, Dr. Hoffman banded me on March 10th,2008, he is wonderful and so very passionate about his work. When i wasn't doing so well ( as in gaining) he was there to kick my butt back in line as well, so its great!! His assistant lisa is wonderful as well, she is such a huge help when some of my paper work came up missing. Surgery couldnt have gone better, no pain meds ect...down about 82lbs.

hey that sounds good to me...chocolate martinis are good and they have the chocolate bar downtown

[val 7]

hey TP great job! you were banded a few weeks before me...and u have lost a lot more than me

[val 7]

i may try to go to the support meeting this month

I have a appt. to see Dr H on May 12 at 10:00 but now I have to reschedule because I don't have a ride. It's not fair but oh well. I just bought a new house so I've been busy . I hope everyone is well.

had my final appointment today. there only concern was my white blood cell count was high, but both lori and barb think it is because i was on steroids due to my asthma. by this time next week i will be banded,, i cannot wait. when i had my gall bladder out i was so afraid! this time i am not i am just excited

[NBflo Girl 2]

Betsy, good for you.. stay excited and don't be scared. I also was terrified but it was not bad at all. Good luck.
