Dr. Malley and other Dr. relationship



Recommended Posts

Kurn,

I know a couple of people go to Dr. Malley for post surgery maintenance and issues. He is very open to taking you on for that but I am not sure about rates. I know there are quite a few out of country bandsters that come to his offices' monthly support group meetings too.

I know Dr. Malley will do fills for you even if he didn't do the banding. I had my band done at the Army hospital in D.C. and I have a appointment with him in April 11. The staff I talked to over the phone and who sent me the paperwork via the email was great and very helpful. Tricare my insurance will not pay for the adjustments even though I had the surgery threw the military. So Dr Malley said it would be $250.00 for the first visitplus the fill and $100.00 for each fill after that. Not bad.

I went to see Dr. Nigro and Weight Loss Surgical Center In KC. He was very nice and patient with answering my endless questions. :clap2: I tried Dr. Malley first and loved him, however they are scheduling into the end of August currently for insurance patients. :phanvan Anyone else been to a Dr. at Weight Loss Surgical Center?

Hi there, I am one step closer to starting this journey to LB. I am doing my research, I am going to need to pvt pay, so cost is something i have to look at do not want to bankrupt my family to save my life. Are there any LB docs in Ks that or KC that don't charge 17000 or higher? And if i go either to MX or maybe to Colorado are there any docs in KS that will do the fills and not charge me the cost of another surgery. I need help. I have made the choice/decision to do this today and i want it done NOWWWWWWWWWWW! My DH is always supportive so i print off things that will let him keep up with what is going on. thanks for all the or any help you can give.

I was self pay with Dr. Malley and that is about the right number. I haven't heard of anyone cheaper in the area but I haven't looked a lot.

I did hear a radio program this weekend that was a new Dr. doing both Lap Band and Gastric Bypass at St. Luke's South. I can't remember his name but I think he is setting up a weight loss center there if you give them a call on the general number.

If you go somewhere else, Dr. Malley will do your after care with you.

I know that Malley has other Mexican banded patients, however I don't know the price of fills.

Hi, I have been reading your posts and am so excited for you to finally made it. Hope you are doing well!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
