Just as an FYI - I had three friends get sleeved by Dr Malley office. They loved him and Dr Fearing just not Menorah Hospital :(

Thanks... I kinda know that going in to it. My husband works at menorah and he hates that I have to have it done there. I'll be extra careful and I'm sure he'll be there to take notes and get on people. Lol... I'm trusting that the Lords got my back!

How is everyone doing since their surgery? I hope all is well! I talked with my sister over the weekend and she had the Gastric Bypass 2 years ago. She has met her goal and maintains her weight. I told her my husband, kids and I along with his family will be going on a cruise in December. We discussed how much weight I could lose by then. Little nervous about buying clothes, but want to enjoy the beach. Any suggestions regarding how much weight I may lose. My surgery is August 28th and we fly out on December 19th.

With S-bucks new skinny line and their off-menu secret stuff, there is plenty to have, Panera is just walking the gauntlet of fat and sugar loaded pastries, and their quality of food and Protein is low, imo.

I know several of Malley's band patients and they are all very fond of him, but I didn't know he did the sleeve. Do you know if he has only started doing them recently? I'm pretty sure that about a year ago, the VSG wasn't included in what he offered - but I could be completely wrong (I know a few of his patients who needed revisions and said that the only revision they could have done with him was another band, or RNY).

Other than (maybe) inexperience, my only reservation about Dr. Malley would be that he doesn't appear to be a FACS (something I looked for when "shopping" for a surgeon).

Thanks for the info... He's been doing them for about a year I think. He has another doc (fearing) that does them too. I think they may actually do them together. I had looked at him about a year or so ago when they first started doing them but at that time my ins didn't cover the sleeve, but does now. Unfortunately, I don't have many options as he is the only bariatric surgeon my ins uses and there's no way I could self pay. I've talked to a few ladies on another sleeve forum that have used him and they've done really well.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
