I had my lap band surgery on Monday 11/2/09
at Buffalo General Hospital. My surgeon Dr. Hoffman was amazing as was the staff at the Comprehensive Weight Loss Center. I started my journey in August 09 at 277 lbs and on the day of surgery weighed 247. They start you on the south beach diet and you have to log all your food. Since surgery I've lost 6 lbs. Of course the fact that I can only drink about 1 to 2 oz of protein every hour would be the main reason. I have my follow-up next Tuesday and will be able to move to the pureed stage then. The reason I had surgery wasn't so much to lose weight as to keep it off. I've lost weight before but get tired of doing what needs to be done to keep it off. I'm hoping the lap band will keep me focused.
