He cut me open to do the surgery, then doesn't do it, he said that my liver is too large and that I need to lose 20 lbs before he can try again. You know, If he had told me to lose it before the first surgery, I might have been able to do it. But now, I'm suprised that I haven't gained 50 more pounds just from the pressure of trying to lose the 20. And don't bother to try and speak to anyone in that office or look for anyone to empathize with you. They just say the same things over and over again. YOU need to lose the weight. Well, the whole reason I wanted to have the Lap-Band done was because I CAN'T lose weight on my own. I am so upset over the whole thing! Don't use Dr. Malley if you can help it. Find another doctor before you try him out. He is located in Kansas.
