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

I belong to the Orchard Park YMCA too. I still prefer my jazzercise. Be careful getting the evaluations too early, I think that some have to be within 30 days of the surgery. Best to check with the clinic though.

Yes, so is Nicki. I have been out of town all week and could not come on line.

I will be at the park at 8 am (or so!) Any new walkers out there???

See you there then, you are going right? I am giving up going camping on Friday so that I can walk. I like meeting up with the group. We can talk about some way we can all communicate who will be there in the future, so no one gets there and is alone.

I will also be there tomorrow (Saturday) for the park walk. Sometimes Dr. Hoffman comes.

Hopefully it will not get too hot too quickly!

We meet at the Juicery, 8 am.

I doubt that there will be a July seminar, the seminars are usually the first Wednesday of the month.

If Dr. Hoffman is at the park I will ask him if he knows if there is a August seminar.

Take care.

Hey everyone!!!

I've been missing the site big time; I work as an assistant camp director in the summer and our internet is dial-up. Boo!! So getting to this site is mostly impossible. :cool:

I had to reschedule my check in with Barbara to August 2nd so I have no news...I'm doing well losing weight at camp (well, I'm not weighing myself but I'm staying mostly on plan).

Good to see new peeps around!! Judy, did you get a date yet? I scanned to see if you had but I might've missed it.

Hi everyone, I just came back from walking in Delaware Park and it was very nice. I met new people and some of you on line and had a wonderful talk and visit with everyone. The two miles went very quickly. I encourage everyone to join in if you can.

Actually, it is two miles each time, Linda, so glad we fooled you into walking four miles--it does go fast with the gang.

I started to tell a friend about your work and I did not even finish my story, she is familiar with your place on Seneca. I was very impressed.

I was saving the big news to tell until you returned, LOL--JULY 17 is my surgery date. Less than one week. I am excited and nervous both. Trying to clean house today so I can come back to a comfortable spot.

Enjoy this (ugh) heat!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
