Topic: RE: Dr. Hoffman- Buffalo?
he told me he would. i really wanted another band and that he couldnt promise me. but i was only his 2nd patient that he did a revision on and they have changed things. that may be one of those things and maybe because he didnt do your original surgery he doesnt want to commit
Topic: RE: Dr. Hoffman- Buffalo?
Just curious did you know he was gonna do it in one surgery? He told me he probably would have me wait 6 weeks to do the sleeve due to scar tissue. I really hope I don't have to go in twice!
Topic: RE: Dr. Hoffman- Buffalo?
i had a band to sleeve revision and yes it was done in 1 surgery. it went well and have been very happy. i did well with the band. but i like the idea of not having a foreign object in my body. dr hoffman is great, very supportive
Topic: RE: question about Support Group Meetings
Are there any other suport groups you can go to besides the one that is run by your surgeons group? Is he aware that this kind of thing goes on in his group? Ultimately, if he is sponsoring the group or is any way involved, he could be held resposible for thier actions. If he knew, he may want to step in.
Would love to keep in touch with you. Sounds like you could use a few supportive {{HUGS}}
Take care, Deb

I couldn't find it. I will be on FB more next month as I don't have wifi connection. I'm slowly getting on board with this. Thanks so much for your reply and compassion. Its more than I've got from "support" the last several months. I wish I had chosen a different surgeon now because I will not be able to trust this staff to have my best interest at heart now nor can I recommend them to anyone. I work in a health department and many people ask me about the surgery. I am sharing this experience with everyone I know but will never understand the underlying cause of such allegations.
Trish Topic: RE: question about Support Group Meetings
We NEED to be in this together. This is a relatively unique journey we are on an support is one of the major keys to success. One or two people deciding who should be able to be in a group or the topics that should not be discussed. Nothing is off limits at my group. I mean NOTHING!!! We talk about regain, eating disorders, sex (or lack of), body image, feeling like failures, food, poop (or lack of), nothing is taboo.
I just cannot imagine how this affected you. Sounds like you are finding your way into a fold of good people tho. And that is how it should be, supporting one another through whatever challenge we face.
Don't know if you are on facebook at all but if you are interested, my support group has a page on facebook (its a closed group, meaning people will know you are a member but cannot read your posts). We discuss almost anything there. It is called "Capital District of NY WLS Support". ANYONE can belong, you do not have to be from the Capital District or anywhere in NY for that matter. Just hit the request to join this group and either I or one of the other admins will approve you. Usually within a couple hours.

Topic: RE: Hi! Does anyone have Dr. Graber?
Thanks for the replies!! How are you guys doing with your protein intake? I am really concerned about this, as our plan stops protein shakes after 2 weeks.
Do you have any "tricks" for getting enough protein in daily?
Thanks!
