Hi. I was just wondering if anyone has had the LB placed by Dr. William O'Malley at Highland Hospital in Rochester, NY. I have heard that he is an excellent surgeon (By my PCP), and was just wondering if any of you had Dr. O'Malley.

I have my Informational Seminar on March 26.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks, Susan

Hi Susan!

I am also looking into this procedure with the same doctor. I haven't gone to the seminar yet, am doing some research first. How did it go?

I have had surgery at Rochester General Hospital with Dr. Anthony DiBenedetto. He is a fantastic surgeon and is very vigilant with follow up. I was lap banded 2/09 and had some difficulties, he was always there to help me through the tough times. I recommend him to anyone in Western NY. He has patients coming from all over to have him do there surgery.

Dear William O'Malley,

J am a 48 year old female, I at one time had the gastric bypass, I was doing wonderful up till 10/11/09 when my son lost his life in and car accident. I since then have had alot of changes in my life.And i have gained weight i was at 148 and now 203 and i really have tryed other diets and going to the gym when possible,i do still have alot of stress in my life and have had trouble with my thyriod, I di ask my doctor for topomax and and diet pill but he wouldnt give it to me.i just did my bmi and it was 37.

I just had a seminar at rgh with dr. Anthony d. He seemed great and right to the point. I liked him and I think hands down I will go with him, though he is taking July off so it might be awhile before I get in.
