Hello, I'm a 27 year old single mother of two. I am currently 5'1/ 240. The biggest I have EVER been, and not willing to get any bigger than this. When I saw that my weight and my BMI made me fall into the morbidly obese category, I KNEW I had to do something. I've been researching the lapband for half a year now and I think I am ready to schedule my consult. How has this process gone for those of you who have already been banded? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS AND GOD BLESS. :help::rolleyes:rolleyes::clap2:

There are quite a few Dr. Malley patients on the forum and I think all of them can agree that he's a wonderful doctor. He's quiet but he listens to what you have to say and he's very sensitive to your feelings and concerns. I knew he was the one after the seminar and after my consult with him it just reassured me that picking him would be my best choice because I felt to comfortable with him. He's done the most lap band procedures of all the doctors in the midwest and started out as a general surgeon. Knowing that, I felt confident in his practice.

My surgery went very well. I had no problems during surgery and had minimal pain after surgery. And now that I am almost 3 weeks out, I have had no problems so far and I am healing wonderfully. Dr. Malley visited me after surgery and the morning after surgery and his nurse visited me the morning of my discharge. I went home (California) a week after my surgery and the doctor and th enurse called me a few times to see how I was doing.

I can only speak for my own experience but I was very happy with Dr. Malley...I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon!

Hello' I first met with Dr. Vohra on June 26. He wrote a bunch of scripts to go to several doctors, cardiologist, sleep doctor, blood work, ab x rays. I have a date for Sep 6 at this time I'm on liquid diet.
