Husband and wife team will become " sleevers" next week on Feb. 1, 2012. Wondering if there are others in the area that have already had surgery or are newbies too. Counting down the days on pre-op liquid diet.

I have a lot of co-workers that have had either the bypass or lapband done and the name Malley is very familiar' date=' so I know he has done the procedure on someone. I can't remember though if he was the one that everyone loved or was warned by some to stay away. I'll follow up with you after I talk to my co-workers that have had the procedure.[/quote']

I was warned to avoid that practice when I started looking into wls. I don't know anyone personally that has gone there but working in healthcare I trusted my resources.

My sister in law had her band done by malley and she loves him.

My nephew used this Dr. For the Lap Band and has not had very much success to lose his weight. His sister used him for the VSG and is doing very well. They both seem to like him. Not sure of his skills though since I do not know him and did not use him as my surgeon.

Hi all' date=' looks like the weather could be a bit iffy for Saturdays meeting at the Bean Counter Cafe so I am proposing. Could we reschedule for Saturday, April 27th?

What say you KC Sleevers?[/quote']

I can do it almost any Saturday. My daughter's wedding reception is the April 20th, so I am free after that is done!

My dr submitted to insurance Friday. Hoping all goes well. For those who pray and wouldn't mind it please do so for me. Thanks

Good luck to you.
