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



Recommended Posts

Hi! I was banded by Dr. Hoffman at BGH on 7/14/08. He is wonderful! I would like to attend the support meeting, but I don't know anything about it. Can someone tell me date, time and place? I'm doing well with my band, but a little support would be great as my friends and family don't really understand all this. Thanks! :smile:

I am still on the N Beach Diet... in 6 weeks, I only lost 4.9 lbs and still going slow.. I hate exercising but I walk 4-5 days a week in the morning only... If I don't get it over with in the morning, I talk myself out of it... I am going to try to make the meeting wed night.. I grew up in N Bflo but now live in Canada.. I have dr Posner only because I was so undecided about which surgery to have but now since I have decided, should I switch to Hoffman ? I know you guys are always talking about him and how great he is. I felt pretty comfortable with Posner though. Is the meeting in the same place that they had the seminar ? I hope its not that big.. I had a hard time hearing all that was said with the questions from the attendents.

      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.
