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



Recommended Posts

My daughter and her family came over cause I ordered 6 yards of topsoil , duh... so they are helping us spread it around. I made potato salad, corn on the cob, and green salad, and chicken. I ate chick, green salad and 2 spoons of potato salad, everything got stuck. I don't know whats up with this band, im either too loose or to tight on any given day...

Hello everyone, I am new to this site and will be attending the group meeting next week. I have had the sleep study and it showed that I have mild sleep apnea. Has anyone had mild sleep apnea and if so does the doctor require a machine before surgery? Thanks

Just got back from the Hoff and sure enough, he took out .5 cc, because i have been having heart burn, he said he wanted me to heal, so now i just hope I can stay on track and get to onederland with a little less help from the band.

Val, how did u make out today? I met a girl there who has 8cc's in her band, and had her surgery last june 08, and has only lost 30 lbs. her doc was Forbes, and believe it or not, she was never assigned another doc. she has been followed by the NP. She said she can eat anything she wants and as much as she wants including a whole sub, unlimited buffet on cruise ship, doughnuts and more, I coudn't believe it, I told her she should see one of the doc's, cause maybe her band slipped.

Welcome all you newbies, it seems like yesteday when I attended the seminar. Dr Hoffman is the best, you will love him. The surgery is in my oppinion the easy part, second easiest is the first year, then it becomes work. But i wouldn't change any thing, because at 1 yr and 3 months later, although I am not at my goal, I can breath and walk at the same time lol...welcome aboard!!!:thumbup:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
